That's one thing I never had to do with my parents. My mom stopped driving about a year before she passed away from dementia. My dad stopped driving about three months before he passed away. He had leukemia and finally became too weak to drive. I don't think either one ever had a ticket, or was responsible for a traffic accident.
I'm another one that uses an Excel spreadsheet. Over the years I've added and removed different fields.
Some of the columns include Trip number, Date, Day of Week, Location, Bank or Boat, Weather, Cover, Structure, Amount Caught, Species, Bait, Color, Trailer, and Type of rig.
When I'm walking the bank I only carry 3 or 4 of each plastic bait. The entire bag of plastics take up too much space, and adds extra weight. When I get back home I put the baits back into their bags.
I eat breakfast before I leave, usually something on the lighter side. I'll bring a two liter bottle of water, and some sort of granola or peanut butter bars to snack on while fishing. If I have a long way to drive I'll stop and pick up some White Castles for the trip.
I carry a 3600 bag with 5 boxes in it. One box for terminal tackle, and four boxes of baits. Jig trailers, tools and equipment, and plastic worms go in the side and front pockets.
