Marking catch records

[CP]

I’ve yet to find a pen that reliably writes on the slick catch record material, especially if it is wet or damp.  I end up with a smeared blob of ink.  Any suggestions on a pen that writes legibly on these?

Ball point?  Works fine for me every time.

It was a problem when I used to bank fish especially if raining.  Nothing seemed to work well if the catch card was damp.  Now that I exclusively boat fish it's easier to keep things dry.  It helps too to have a backing pad (I use the fishing rules booklet) to scribble a few lines on to get the ink flowing good.

I just wait until I'm back at the truck to mark 'em.



KIDDING FOLKS



I've used a standard ball point and as long as I keep things try never really had an issue. Usually, the current regs are used as a surface to place the tag on...I think a softer writing pad like the regs or a book help.

It just Tyvek. Buy a gel pen sometimes called freezer pen. Write on an ice cube if ya want.

I've had good marking with the refill ink for the high end pens.  The small ball point replacements that go inside the pen.

Write in the rain makes a pen for there note pads that works well!
