Trip Data

Area Fished & Fishing Spots

We require the area you fished (Florida county or Texas region)  to increase the value of the data that is submitted to the fisheries management services.  Obviously, these areas cover many square miles so we offer an optional FISHING SPOT entry that allows you to enter the Longitude/Latitude of approximately where you were fishing.  We don't need your exact fishing hole, but rather the general area where the fish were caught.   See our "How to find Latitude Longitude After the Trip" section below to assist you in finding these coordinates.

# of Anglers & Time Spent Targetting Snook

These two inputs help calculate the "effort" you put in fishing.  Think of it like: two anglers fished for three hours for snook, so their trip had six "snook hours" of effort.  It's important to estimate how long you were actually fishing for snook, and not fishing for something else or just boating around.  Also, it's important to only count anglers who were fishing for snook.  Your best estimates here are all we need, it doesn't have to be exact.

Quick Tally Count and Specific Lengths

This is used to calculate the proportions of the snook caught in an area.  Try to make sure all the snook you catch during the trip time you've specified are included in the tally, and try to measure as many snook as you can.

How to Find Latitude / Longitude After the Trip

Follow this guide to use Google Maps to find the Long/Lat points for your FISHING SPOTS before you record your log.

  1. Open Google Maps for [ Florida ] or [ Texas ]
  2. Enable the feature "LatLng Tooltip" by clicking the New! in the top right corner.
  3. Zoom In on the map to the point where you get 4 decimal places for your points.
  4. Hover the cursor over the map in the general area where you fished, and record your points for the FISHING SPOT.
