Im perfectly rested.. havent been fishing since sunday morning... and probably cant get out for another week...

HOWEVER... I get home from Pittsburgh next friday, and my wife and the newborn wont be home till Tues...

So its going to be a pretty hardcore weekend.

NEED SLEEP......
Its all worth it tho!
Redbull is my key to staing awake..altho there is a new drink called "cocaine" trust me u cant even sit still after one of those...

I guess I'm not that hardcore. I do not enjoy fishing all night. After 2-3 hours I lose the edge. I don't ever leave fish, but usuallyy once a tide lets go so does my fishing.

I'll do an allnighter in a new spot I'm trying to learn once on each tide to try and learn the area and what tide the fish show in a specific spot but on a normal basis I usually only fish about 1/2 of a tide (about 3 hours) a night. But thats usually 5-7 nights a week all season long so it adds up.

I hear what your saying about the end. Plugs to turn, a few rods to wrap and its spring before you know it. When I hang em up, mentally I'm ready to hang em up.

i wore myself out during the derby, fishing 6 nights a week. 4-6 hrs a trip, and longer trips on weekends when i didn't have to work the next day. its not the fishing that wears me out as much as the long walks searching for fish and then going to work the next day.
so many mornings i wake up feeling like i was hit by a truck from all the hoofing and catching from the night before. dragging fish back along a 2-3 mile stretch of beach will wear anyone down.
i wa actually glad when it ended, it meant i could relax and just fish. i took 3 nights off, slept and recovered and have been back at every night since. still catching fish, but not feeling the need to stay out all night. if i feel good i keep fishing, but i know that i have put in my time and got some nice fish....
i still go every night knowing my fish of a life time is waiting behind that rock....
