First off, you should never
plan an all-nighter when you have to work the next morning . . .your asking for it if you do - >
Now if it's the fish-catching that's unexpectantly going to cause this all-nighter to happen, then fish as long as you can and suffer the consequences. I think each person has their own threshold as to what type of
catching justifies how long they stay out. Example, if I'm into non-stop action of schoolie >> barely legal size bass, I'm not pulling an all-nighter
. If I'm into 36" + fish, (with steady action), I'm riding it out until I feel they've moved on or until I
think it's over. There are lots of different variables to consider, is it the end of the work week?/do you plan on keeping this job very long?/is this your 3rd all-nighter this week?/how many boxes of NO-DOZE can you smuggle into work and will it be detected ?/Can you pretend to look for that report all day................and just never find it?
Personally, during the work-week, I prefer the hours between 9:00pm - 2:00am. Assuming you're a responsible adult, you CAN'T always play the tide. Life has a way of dictating which tide you'll be able to fish. My job requires that I work different shifts, opening up different opportunities for me. As far as fishing in the morning before work ? Experience has taught me that I SHOULD not fish for a few hours before work. #1. Travel time to and from spot X adds to the total time, which I normally don't tally in. #2. An hour after sunrise could easily produce breaking fish and that's normally the time that I should be heading home/shower/work and could be the cause of a very LONG and frustrating day as I day dream about the fish I had to leave breaking. #3. I find that I'm much more tired if I get up to fish real early and work all day as opposed to fishing late in the night and getting a few of sleep and working all day.
In reality, you have to do what you intially posted. Find out what works best for you. Your body will tell you what's best. It's up to you whether or not you listen to it.
p.s. All - Nighters are over-rated. They're mostly good if you have the next day off, and you plan on moving around to find what you're looking for. To pull an All-Nighter and just set up camp hoping the fish will find you........is.....
Unless you're with a group of friends, and your real intent isn't on catching fish.
...but on telling stories and having some fun, and maybe catching a sand-shark or 2. There's truth in this post somewhere, God only knows if I know where it is....
...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
