Temp Breaks ........

I always download my GPS/FF data to my computer at the end of each trip. That way I can seethe reasons the bite was good or bad.

The surface picture was taken just east of AR305 and data picture from my Garmin Map Source program. You can see a small very small temp break (5 tenths to be exact) and that canturn a bite on.

Tom, you're data logging is exceptional, and anal to boot....

One of the reasons I'm now looking at Garmin products....

The real question, how do you map this data, do you record what time you get a strike, then compare notes on the data from the Garmin?

Also, what size flash card is required to log a full day of trolling?

I have a 128 mb memory stick which more than adequate for 48 hours of fishing. I just make a mental note of when the bite starts and if I see what I think is a temp break a insert a wp on the CP. All the data that is downloaded from the CP is devrived from Track History information. In other words, it's already there all I have to do is use Map Source and take advantage of the info. It's helped become a better fisherman in as much as it has helped me recognize the smallest temp breaks especially in calmer water.
