I've started logging my trips this year and I'm trying to see if I'm leaving out any relevant info that could be helpful. So far I've been logging: Weather (sunny/overcast/foggy etc.), Wind speed/direction, Barometric pressure, humidity, air temp, water temp, tide, water level (low/normal/high), time fish caught, length, weight, water depth, water clarity, vegetation, lure.
Am I missing anything that could be useful?

If where you are fishing has river or water diversion have influence consider river stages and/or flow rates.

humidity
Not sure what good tracking humidity does. It'll play into weather conditions, but humidity on its own is likely an insignificant factor.

time fish caught
May want to track this more as a relative time vs sunrise/sunset and major/minor feeding periods. That can be done after the fact on a spreadsheet.
Another thing to track is how the weather has been recently (warming trend, cooling trend, drought, recent rains, etc...) and how the upcoming weather might be affecting their behavior (leading edge of cold front?)

Put who you fished with. Always like going back and seeing who was with me on trips.

This is a really good thing to do. Even after your gone the kids can read it and go back to some of your spots.

I need to do this too. Now I'm only marking the wind direction and tide when I mark a waypoint on my gps

I will log the 3 days before a trip as well using weather reports. it helps me know if a certain pond will have water or not. stuff like that

I've started a few times. I'm just too lazy to keep it going.

Is there an app or anyway to log digitally?
