Restless sleep in anticipation, an early start, the cup of coffee to go, dew on the the car, a morning still dark, the fox out hunting, the empty roads, a town still asleep, trying to gauge the weather - is there a breeze...
Arrival at the spot, dawn is breaking, a first look at the conditions and the natural world around me. Getting into waders and jacket, loading up with chest pack and accessories that took so long to source. Decision making of which rod & reel will suit the location / conditions / chosen method. The feel of high quality equipment in the hand, a first re-tuning of the strategy the impatience for the first hit and the worry it might not happen.
A first hit when you've lost concentration for just a moment, the heart rate increase to approaching 200 bpm as you know you're in!
Just some of the things that bring me back to the wild shoreline time & time again...
