CPUE is Catch Per Unit Effort.

Basically a measure of the "efficiency" of catching fish.


Layne,

I have seen that used on Pond Boss, but somewhat sparingly. I think(?) it is more commonly used as a descriptive technical term, rather than a highly tracked measurement.

Are you trying to track it over just a few smaller bodies of water, or more universally?

I think if you were tracking it for years on your own 2-acre pond, then it could have some great value. Especially, if you also tracked your length/weight of your fish.

As an average fisherman, I think the variability of the conditions is a bigger factor. For example, we have been almost skunked at a pond one Saturday, and then a week later just slaughtered the fish.

Those are just my opinions as a heavy consumer of Pond Boss readings. Hopefully, some experts will drop in and give you some better answers.
