When your partner says "No more all-nighters" he's lying.
Many of my all-nighters were unintentional, time flies when you're having fun.

Yes, when at a destination like say, Cuttyhunk. At home, not so much. I am fortunate to be only a couple minutes from good spots, so can pick tides or my hours to fish. I love the predawn, so that is usually when I choose to go, and then to work. I have often come upon Luds, Clogston, and Scottihamma in the predawn dark, and they have been out all night. That's mostly weekends as they have a drive to that spot! Big five ohh next year, so I needs my beauty rest

I can't handle them like I used to be able to do.

But they're highly productive. I like all nighters in June and July because the nights are short. I found when doing all nighters you are better off to come up with a plan beforehand and stick with it rather than improvising as night goes along. The more tired you get the worse your judgement gets and you end up wasting time.

What kind of shape you are in is a big issue with respect to how long you can last. You need to be fairly thin to handle all nighters - or even big trips. I noticed since I became over 40 and overweight I can't do a lot of things like I used to be able to. Skinny bastages like DZ and McKenna - those guys are 50+ and they can run circles around me.

Some weekends the only time I leave the beach is to find cell phone service to tell my wife I'll be a day late to catch up on 2 days of missed sleep.
