A fishing log for Cleveland’s Lake Erie shore
Write down the lake.

Three lines a trip. A season you can read.
- 1The outing. Date, spot (your own name for it), hours fished, and how: shore, pier, boat, kayak, wading or ice.
- 2The fish. What it was, length and weight if you measured, the bait or lure, kept or released. Skunked? Log the outing anyway: it counts.
- 3The book does the sums. Fish per hour at each spot, which bait took what, your longest of every species, and the month the bite turned on.

Straight answers
- Does it tell me the limits or where the fish are?
- No. It records what you tell it and adds it up. Size limits, bag limits and seasons change. Before you keep a fish, check the current Ohio fishing rules from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. This book only records what you tell it.
- Who can see my book?
- Anyone holding its link, and nobody else: there are no public pages, no maps and no sharing of spots. We store only a scrambled form of the link code.
- Is this an official or nonprofit site?
- No. It is a paid product run by WeldonPC.com, not a government body, club or nonprofit.
