Fishing journal/log

date, temp, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, high/low tide time, moon phase, fishing location, water depth, size of fish, number of fish, bait/lure used along with presentation, bite (light vs hard bite)

I tried one. Too much shite to write down.

do you need a certain gps for that? does it let you type in information to google earth pro?

I use Lowrance but I believe a bunch are supported by the free converter software GPSBabel.

I record on Lowrance, save route/waypoints to MicroSD, convert file and upload to Google Earth. I then polish the route and add info onto Google Earth and save for archive and research later.

I can also do opposite... create route I want to take including way points in Google Earth. Convert file to Lowrance and upload. I scout a lot using this method.

thats pretty awesome im going to try this weekend
thanks for the info

Here is a how-to

How are you adding the attributes to the route in Google Earth or are you placing pins with the info you want to record?

Yes, pins and fill out the info (description). I put the weather, tide, time of day, etc with the pin on my launch location.

I save as .KMZ and email to myself. That way I can search and pull them up where ever I have cell service. I could probably just save them to my phone because the files are tiny with average size of 50kb
