Getting excited before going fishing

[Dave]

Does anyone else get that giddy feeling the day or so before going fishing?

At my age you'd think it would have worn off by now (the giddy feeling before fishing bit before anyone says owt lol) ,but no, I still get the anticipation, the excited buzz, and the time until going can't pass fast enough

I always do, When @sly comes to pick me up (5.30am-ish), I'm up at 1.30am to 2.00am making sure that all is prepared and ready to go. When it gets to 5.00am I start clock watching in case he's early.

I always start getting excited a good few days before going fishing, the sense of anticipation and adventure never lessens regardless of how often I go.

That’s just you getting worried that your about to lose another £1 to @Peter

 

[Peter]

Yep, never need an alarm clock when I'm going fishing. Is it the weekend yet?

I get excited before a fishing day. I am especially excited about Alders.

I don't think it ever leaves you. I still struggle to sleep if i'm out on an early one, and the night after i'm plagued by dreams of floats going under. is anyone else like that?

If anything I'm opposite. If I've had a bad session or lost a couple of good ones, I can't sleep for thinking of what I could have or should have done and also thinking of what improvements can I make for my next trip to that venue. It bugs the heck out of me, and that's after 56 years of angling.

Haha, I once woke myself and the missus up by striking into a long trotted stick float

I once woke our Gert by Hooking her

And that ain't too often though ???

I haven't got time to sit here and chat and say how excited I am, I'm off to Eye Kettleby to meet a fellow MD'er for a day's fishing must dash............

Save those corks mate, they make good float bodies.

I am finally going to get a session on the river tomorrow, it's not for the want of trying but it will be my 1st this season, had all of my kit sorted on tuesday night stacked neatly by the door in the shed just have to pick it up and get it in the car, been checking the weather forcast on about 4 different web sites every hour for the last couple of days, leaving work early to day to pick up bait, will probably not sleep tonight and be ready for an early start.....what could go wrong.......with my luck this season .......watch this space

 

[ukzero1]

"What could go wrong"....how long a list do you want? 2 words mate...Sods law.

 

[nejohn]

I have already had most things go wrong this year everthing from being called into work, daughter falling down stairs, car failure, washing machine flooding the kitchen all on the morning of going fishing.......so tomorrow don't be surprised if we have a plague of locusts...!!
