fish count tracker

[monsters2k6]

I made this up to make it a little easier to keep count and thought i would share it. The first one is just an example of how to use it(not that it would have been hard to figure out). It is nothing major but it works for what i want to do!

I don't understand how it works, sorry.

[monsters2k6]

I done the math slightly off before so i changed the box. now it will hold 45k fish.

Basically, I think, you either print it out or you leave it up on your computer, this option would work best if you have 2 monitors or computers next to each other, and when you sell a bucket you "X" a square, 20 across is 20 buckets.

Is this correct? So you would do that "table" for each of the fish you are going after and where you are going after. If you wanted to try break it down by street in pg you could, I believe, but that is up to each person.

From my experience so far on catching the full moon you would need about that whole page of it, i'm at about 475 buckets and counting and the grid you have would cover 220 bucket if my thoughts on how you use this is correct.

I Basically Made It Because I Am Gonna Try That Uber Fishing Toon Thing So When I Get T O Different Rods I Can Write The Number Of Fish Caught Each Bucket In The Square Because Once I Get The Bamboo My 20 Fish Bucket Days Are Over.

noone has to use it. i made it for me and thought i would offer it.

here is the blank one. i left the first one up for use of the slightly less ultra fish. like i said. nothing major but it works for me so if you dont like it....dont use it. not gonna hurt my feelings!

I just have a word document up and every time i sell a bucket I just change the number. If I want to know how many I've caught just multiply by 20. So write now I am at 750 bucekts, next bucket I will just delete the 0 and raise the number to 751. Much more simpler I think.

I agree it can be simplier but the op stated that he doesn't mark for a completed bucket so much as how many in a bucket which is helpful when you are trying for a fishing uber and can only carry 40 beans. once you get past bamboo for sure you won't be getting 20 in a bucket unless you fish out beans and even with bamboo you have to be lucky and get no boots to get 20 in a bucket.

I like your tracking sheet Kenny, it is alot like mine. I will post a copy of the one I use also.

Fish Tracking.pdf

My sheet holds 5,000 buckets(100,000 fish).

The way it works is you put 5 hash marks in each square as you go across each row. Each hash mark represents a bucket of fish. So each square will hold 5 buckets (100 fish). Each row will be 100 buckets (2,000 fish).

Yea. I Was Playing The Hash Mark Game In A Notebook And Was Going For Something A Little Easier Due To The Uber Theory. With The Chart Then I Can Write 15,18 Or How Many Ever Fish I Catch Once I Get Into The Bamboo And Other Rods. I Just Want To Try And Track This New Toon As Closely As I Can For Accurate Readings.

I have a method quite similar to this except mine isn't printed from the computer. I just have a blank sheet of paper (about a quarter sheet) and I make tally marks on it, I cross each 5th bucket so that every 100 fish is in a sort of section. I put enough so that it makes 1k going across so that I can always figure out how much I have based off of that number.

So far its worked very well for me, I've had about 6 different sheets of them and since I've had so many I've started to change the color of it to entertain me. I've had green with a cow background, neon yellow and cherry which makes it a lot easier for me to find too rather than a white piece of paper.
I think that having a smaller piece of paper encourages me to fish more because I don't like it feeling empty and then when I get to the middle it's not that far to the end so I'll finish starting the whole thing over again.

Knowing how much I've fished sometimes is not the best thing, knowing I've done 53k for full makes me feel disappointed. I've caught, I believe, every single ultra you can catch in DDL. 4 concords (yes 4!), 2 devils, 1 all-star, and 3 or 4 Mackerals. I've about given up, with so many good fish yet none of which I need-I didn't need any of them when I started fishing in DDL except for concord which I caught 100 fish into it.

Kind of like my method you have there ladyspottypoodleswirl.. Only difference is that I print A4 paper with the 5 buckets which gives me 100 fish every time I complete. I never thought that if I used smaller piece of paper it would look easier. You do have a point there. But still each sheet of mine can hold up to 11k of fish so..

Oh well! I feel your pain on that full moon. I've done about 37k since I caught grand which also took me 75k to catch. I guess some people are just black-listed from tt in fishing hee hee..

It will come eventually, but I'm not in the mood of waiting for it right now!

Well I Redone It One Last Time And Now It Is Just The Way I Want It. What I Do Is Put An X In The Box After Each Bucket. One Row Is 700 Fish And The Whole Thing Holds 63k Fish Now. I Made It Because Once I Get To Bamboo And Higher Rods...i Wont Be Catching 20 Fish Anymore So Then I Will Write The # Of Fish Caught Into Each Square So I Have Perfect Accuracy On My Fish.

Like I Said Before. If You Don't Like Iot You Don't Have To Use It. But It Is Working Great For Me And I Thought I Would Share It.

Here Is The Final Design As I Am Not Changing It Anymore. I Had To Zip It Because It Is Too Big.
