The advantages of this is that you save yourself from forgetting a spot, and you might be able to plan vacations due to your journal about what the conditions were like when the fishing was on. I am a huge advocate for journalling about where and when you found some fish and being able to track them down over and over again because you wrote it down.

Read MoreWe are now on week 3 of our summer fitness challenges! Here’s the challenge for this week:
Add a finisher to a workout, or if you don’t work out, get 30 minutes of exercise a day. Do either of these challenges every day for 5 days straight this week. A finisher could be 100 burpees at the end of a workout, or a mile run to finish your workout. If you don’t workout, it could be going to a gym to workout, or it could be something as simple as going for a run or going to play tennis. Remember that with each of these challenges we are keeping the quote from Bruce Lee in mind:
“Absorb what is useful
Discard what is not
Add what is uniquely your own”
