Everytime beforei go i get excited, doesn't matter if its 3hours stalking or a couple of nights. The day the pre session excitement wanes is the day to pack up. Hopefully never!

The day I stop getting excited is the day I stop going.
I often don't sleep well the night before a trip, too much going on in my head.

I can't wait to get out every single opportunity. I was fortunate enough a few years ago to get out for 48 hours every week, and I'll admit at that point I didn't get the same buzz. Now I've scaled back a bit I still fish all year but appreciate every minute.

Rude not to get excited don't you think.
I've been thinking about my first session of the year for weeks and getting excited about it, and it's only a day this coming Saturday.
I'll probably be up all night thinking about it

I think its great we have a Hobby we love so much that we have trouble sleeping the night before we go, brilliant.
I can never settle the night before so always go on the night even if that means a night mission.
I used to rock up at ferry lagoon at around 2am and stroll around in the dead of the night, no feeling like it especially on a huge wild pit like that with nobody around.

For me it's a challenge and a puzzle with 1000000's of possible variants. This hook with that hook link, using that bait. I get excited every time I go to bed when I'm dreaming of all the possibilities. Then when we sit on the bank filled with anticipation, wondering if your chosen method and approach will work we get to see kingfishers at work and grebes doing that mating ritual. It's truly magic.
The other day I was up a tree watching three pike circling a shoal of small roach, before ripping through them like something on a David Attenborough program.
We are blessed, I feel blessed. So if I catch or not, and I haven't caught since November, I'm still buzzing before every session!!
