And also, am I the only one that seems to already be awake before my alarm every time I'm about to go fishing?

Yup like a kid waiting for xmas
I love my fishing so much its been a great escape and addiction with gear, but I look forward to getting up at 3 am to make the hour and a bit drive to my Syndicate (when travel is allowed) I get so excited I barely sleep thinking which part of the lake the fish will be in what peg might be free and so on... Its just the best after my family its the best thing in my life
Even last month I went for a day session feeder fishing for bream on a local club lake I was like a kid on Xmas eve the day before getting the gear out the loft and making sandwiches and even managed one of the bigger specimen bream and the biggest perch I've ever caught on a boilie

I've joined Wraysbury 1 for the coming season. It's a good 3+ hour journey for me but I actually enjoy it. My first session will be in May but I'm already excited.
This week I have ordered all my gear that I will using to beef up my current set up, including braided mainline for the first time.
I know without doubt that I will be setting off at about midnight for my first session as there is no way I will be able to sleep.
I never get that level of anticipation for my other hobby, golf.

I sometimes struggle to get up for it, but am currently sorting my river stuff for a long weekend on the wye which has got the juices going.

Hi man! I understand you perfectly. I started fishing at 50 and I always get excited before going fishing. I rejoice like a child and collect baubles and fishing rods. I've been dreaming about some unusual fishing for a long time. And my family decided to surprise me. In the summer, my son gave me an unusual tour of Austria. We flew to Vienna from where we went by train to a beautiful mountain lake. There was great fishing! And these majestic mountains around. I'm still under the impression.
