Rebeleye Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Took me a while to warm up to that noise actually. Couple years ago was my first time in a sleeper. One of the rattle reels went ape nuts around 3AM. I flew out of my bunk and didn't know where I was at first, then I couldn't figure out which rattle reel was going off. Got up and stayed up after that firedrill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyebjim Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I can't wake up to a alarm clock to save my life but if I hear a rattle reel I'm up and heading for the hole that the reel is on before I even realize it. It's kinda automatic. I can't wait for that. For now I'll settle for portable action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatfish Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 It sure can be confusing waking up to that but It does not take long to settle in. My crappie spot I know after 1 hour 15 min they are done till 4:45pm unless the tulibee come through at 11:00.My walleye spot is close to the same times but zero fish b-ween 8:30-4:45.That gives me time to chase pike and sunnies.

croixeyes Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 My wife says she cant believe it,I can sleep through an earthqauke,but one tic of a rattlereel and I pop right up.I was gonna suggest and alarm clock with the sound of rattles going off ,but that might not be good when you have to wake up to the real thing.

niterydr Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I am also very excited for "all day/night" fishing. There is nothing better than be drifting asleep at 3am and having the tic---tic--tic,tic,tic, brrrrrrrrrr waking you up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
