I would think after fishing in Alaska you would want nothing to do with it here lol. I am the same way though.

for me it isn't sleep that gets in the way - that thing called "work" is worse!

I second the motion that work is the main issue that gets in the way of fishing in general :)

I get up very early on days that I'm going to fish so sleeping is generally no problem at night. Pretty tired by the end of the day.

I actually get more sleep during the work week (get up at 5 am) than I do on the weekends (get up at 3:45 - 4 am).

doesn't matter if it is a trip to the big lakes with my buddies or a just a day out to the local ponds/lakes with my kids. I can never stop thinking of the next trip out. I love the ice.

Why would you think you should be diffrent. Welcome to IS and make sure to pay attention to the little voice in your head that keeps telling you don't forget the bait.
Take a kid fishing,they make great pack mules.
Put the big ones back for another day eat the small ones.

I only get a little screwed up the night before a fishing trip. I set my alarm for 4:30 or something and I wake up at 1:30, 2:30, 3:30... I wake up all night long and usually I am looking at my alarm clock as it goes off.

Was only able to get two hours sleep Sat.night,always afraid the alarm won't
go off. Don't know why I worry,damn thing goes off every work day morning.
Good day Sunday,we caught six bows and one small brook.
