Maybe it's time for you to buy the boat, and god forbid, fish during the daylight. I used to fish the 7pm to 2pm shift and picked my nights on the north river to catch the dropping tides that hit those hours. Started years ago out of a 17 foot coleman Scanoe & 4.5 Evenrude, then moved up to the Tracker. After I started to feel the affects of age, I found I just didn't have the energy or drive to fish those hours any longer. Switched to the morning shift and now fish from 4:30 am-noon.
Best thing I ever did. Now I'm not wiped out from lack of sleep, I still catch my share of bigger fish and enjoy fast action with good numbers of schoolies. I enjoy the heat of the sun on my aching joints, rather than the stiffening chill of the night and that has made a big difference in my enjoyment level.
Tight lines.
