How early? is two early?

[Norman]

cryptic maybe, but how early do others set out fishing, we've seen times creep earlier and earlier of late, is it any better ???

we had a test run this morning , met up at 2.00am ..... now that was early ... but, do you think it was two , I mean too, early ......

see the Slinky Kate catch report for our views ...

but in the meantime, what do you think?

Mate it's never too or two early ,it's all to do with getting the timing right as you know .....I hope it worked, but I have a sneaking feeling that it did.

Norman i have a mate that goes very early as well as he gets the best weather always

its better earlier and then if it gets up a bit it is usually by dinner time when he is on his way back

I don't think the time matters when I'm fishing , but I come from a coarse fishing background where we would fish when the fish fed , not when we felt like it , regularly used to meet anglers coming off the river at tea time after a day in the baking sun catching nowt or very little "wasting your time going down there" they would say to me , but as the sun dropped over the horizon , out came the chub and barbel to eat all the bait those anglers had been chucking in the river all day long , crucian carp wouldn't feed till it was black dark at night, big bream are virtually nocturnal along with eels and tench are always easier to catch just as the first glimmers of light start to show on the water. Pike seem to like office hours
When I moved on to fly fishing for trout and sea trout I'd fish through till about 2 am on the rivers , rainbow trout fisheries drove me mad with their 9 till 5 approach to fishing , nothing worse than being told to stop fishing at a certain time (usually just as the fish are beginning to feed )
The jury is still out on whether it's worth going out to sea at daft oclock in the morning for me , I've had my best fishing through the day so far , caught some cracking fish on evening sessions and had some decent fishing early morning , but if the weather forcast was set calm and the tides were just where I wanted them and everything looked spot on for a 2am start ...... that's when I'd be out there

That is early norman,We went out a couple of month ago as the light was fading and got about 2 mile out,then it turned BLACK all of a sudden,all we could see was the light house light and the green one one the left of the piers.The spot light on the boat was no use what so ever,you might aswell of been shining it in the sky.It was a scarey feeling at the time and won't be in any hurry to do it again,you might aswell be blind folded,Well done on your catch today and getting abit envy on theese doubles now,well done tony on your pb.as still waiting for double myself.

I don't think it was early at all. I think it was quite late for an evening trip.

I think 2AM is late night start not early morning. Also think you're mad

We're having an early start tomorrow, meeting up at 09:30. Half the fun of the later starts is coming back in by instruments to navigate through the clag and darkness.

Anything sooner than 6am is too early for me, rather be feeling fresher when fishing and when i get back but i do miss the sun rises and open sea's.

[The Great Wallsendo]

2am maybe a smidge early - have to push it right back to 3am in future methinks

if you caught a load of fish then it wasnt to early and if you caught nothin then yes it was to early lol.
