If you can take the day off before and nap in the afternoon you will be much better off.
Don't eat a sleepy meal or dairy - and bring some fishing tonic.
Start a walking program or fish spots where you need to walk to get ready.
Take a break before it grays up.
Go back to the truck and sit down around 2-3 am and then do everything you need to do before heading back out. (Change leaders, batteries, check line.)
The big fish seem to get ya when you are at your most tired and your judgement is not what it should be - right around 4:00 am.
I lost the best fish I ever had on a commando trip, because when I switched from eels to plugs at grey dawn, I forgot to back off on the drag.
