dont use an alarm never have . just need to tell myself what time to get up and Im up 15 min before
you should always do it yourself and double check it . I only require an early rise when trout fishing , for stripers I just fish through the night .
I set 3 alarms, usually, when I have to be somewhere important. Plus, I have the furry alarm clocks that are good for whisker tickles at 0430 and onward. Even with all the alarms, I'm still late for most things. Whoops.
The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
