Sleep

[polepot]

Why can't I sleep the night before a match . Last night I had everything ready, didn't have to be up too early, had a couple of beers (only a couple scatty), no pressure at all. So why was I waking up every 20 mins looking at the clock Mind you it wasn't helped by the 'number witheld', phone call at 5 o clock If that was you scatty I'll get you back and so will Shirl

Does anyone else have trouble sleeping the night before a match ???

Man, I think perhaps you are taking things a little too serious or perhaps you shouldnt have drunk 15 cans of Red Bull!

Nope it wasn't me

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago when I got a call on my mobile at 430am from one of my 'mates' from Red Herring Ac . i thought it was my 7am alarm call for my match, leapt out of bed, got dressed, washed & was about to go downstairs when 'her indoors' asked me what the effin hell i was doin up at 430am!!! Went back to bed for a couple of hours & woke the wife again gettin up at 7am for the match

She luvs me goin fishin.

Larry, the big matches I usually find myself pukeing up behind the peg on the morning because its usually a national but nothing to do with nerves!

The most nervous I ever was fishing was when I was winning the Guiness Classic with one day to go and drew spot on on Airport section between Tony watling Jnr and his Dad and they said to me "your gonna get Watlinged today lad" .... after an hour Tony had 20 bream - I'm not joking ... he turned to me and said at this rate I'm gonna need another keepnet - at that point I had a few perch and one bream!..... I was cacking myself that I was gonna lose the whole festival on one day, everything was going wrong... I then got off my box chopped up a kilo of worm and started another line about 15 yards further out .... half an hour later I was catching bream and big Perch and thankfully Tony's Peg had died a death!.... I went on to Weigh 25.500 and Tony Won the match with 32Kg.. (31Kg in the first hour!).. ooops! The nerves settled once the tip started going round!
