I just have hundreds of x’s. Lol

If I have time I might change the icon to a fish or a lobster, etc.

I pretty much know which fish are in which areas so don’t need to name the species.

What I wish I DID have was a detailed log of conditions for each waypoint when fish were caught there. Time of day, current, water temp, moon cycle, etc. Then I’d dump it all into an Excel workbook and spend weeks analyzing it for patterns.

I know its old school, but I keep a logbook that details the numbers on my waypoints on the boat. I update it as needed. I rarely refer back to it as I'm out every day but if I ever change chartplotter units, I'll have all my info ready to input.
