How much sleep do you get the night before fishing?

[trollmiester]

I fish every week and its hard for me to sleep because i still get so excited to go fishing.Is it just me?

[Which Way Out]

Chris you get excited over everything. Don't ever change buddy.

FYI- That Terramar rod you sold me is gonna get a work out tomorrow morning, EARLY...:Shocked: Speaking of that I need to get some sleep soon. I hope this post of yours didn't mess it up....:Confused:

I will let you know how the rod works out..

Trolly, Your stepping up admitting that your a fishoholic, and that's okay cause I'm not far behind ya... depends if I have to drive far or not. Last year or so I have been staying local in riverside county so maybe 4-5 hrs before coffee time. Tight lines Trolly and (Pontoon I know your out there).....

I hear you buddy I start thinking about my next fishing trip as soon as one ends.Then as my next free day to fish comes cant sleep the night before

[Marley]

You're supposed to sleep before fishing? No wonder I keep falling asleep!

Just kidding, Chris. If I'm fishing freshwater, trout derby or trip to the Sierras, it's usually about 5 hours, maybe 6 if I'm lucky. If I'm fishing salt water I try and get as much as possible, 8 - 10 hours if I can. Helps keep me from getting seasick. Wretched feeling, getting seasick, I just want someone to shoot me.

Sleep is highly over rated !

[Dr. MindBendo]

I usually get in 3-4 hours. I still get too damn excited if it's supposed to be a good trip. Usually spend the night before rigging up, checking the tackle I'm taking, spooling up etc... Wake up feeling like crap from lack of sleep. :No Pity: Once I'm on the water I forget about being tired. :Fishing Catch:

Zero hours... Who else tells themself they will get in line early and sleep a hour or two before they open, but end up getting there late and not sleeping at all? Sleep insomnia... Gotta love it! But damn the drive home really sucks!!!

[Skyler]

A hell of a lot more than I do the night before a deer hunt, lol.

[HBAR]

well if your in line at the vine and you forget your sun visor windsheild block things to block out that bright light you aint gonna get much of any :EyePop:

[seal]

Depends on what I'm fishing for and where.

Laughing at the hunting comment, so true!

[DarkShadow]

I usually don't get much, since in order to beat the crowds, you have to arrive at your destination rather early, but I do manage a few ZZZs when I can, like when I'm driving home or when I'm driving the rental boat.

[flyhigh123]

i always crash the night after... for example, i wake at 4am to fish, so i get a few hours sleep, bu the next night, i crash at like 10pm and sleep till 9-10am... lol

[TroutOnly]

when i was younger ,i could never sleep before a trip,but now that im older and smarter i make sure i ware myself out getting ready the day before so i knock out early and get my needed sleep before a trip, rested and ready to slay the next day,,,,,T/O,,,,,

[ZipperWurm]

I work late nights and sleep during the day usually...so when I have to be up super early to go fishing I usually get zero hours because I'm usually awake when I'm supposed to be sleeping...I'm a complete wreck though once the trip is over...

[Troutin Man]

Fishing trips are awesome! You can sleep on days you work! I have a few fishing trips this summer and I am already lookin' up info and getting things ready! Fishnerds rule!

[trollmiester]
