During my time out on various oceans, I befriended various local fisherman. The way of a fisherman is an early one. Just as the early bird gets the worm, the worms get the fish.
An early start can begin at around 4am, getting everything ready so one can be on the waters at dawn. Time is crucial and every minute is precious on the waters.
Over time, I have come to love my morning lifestyles but the early start of the fisherman is another tier of early bird and I have to admire and respect their discipline.
