I'm making a fishing journal for the computer -- to keep track of all the presentations I've tried on different bodies of water, and whether they were successful or not. Once I get a stable program working then I can share it (free of charge of course) with whoever is interested. Maybe I can recruit some beta testers....
Right now, it simply collects data, stores it in a database, and displays it in a table. I want to add the ability to create charts, perform statistical analysis, stuff like that. That'll be a later version though.
I could use some help deciding what details to keep track of. Other than the following details, what else would be useful to track?
For the outing:
Date
Sky conditions (sunny, cloudy, raining, etc)
Water body
air temperature
water temperature, water colour, water clarity
wind speed, wind direction
Combinations of presentations used (can be many of these for one outing):
rod used, reel used, line used
technique used (trolling, casting, etc)
lure used, lure colour
what setup is used (gang troll, texas rig, etc)
specific location on the water body
depth fished
time of day
And if fish were caught for that presentation:
species
weight, length
whether it's the year's PB or a lifetime PB
Hope there's some interest out there in this project
And by the way, I've not a professional programmer, I'm a total (and humble) hack.
thanks,
yak
Maybe when the boys are a little older.
