Set the alarm for 11:08 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 11:08 p.m.

While you wait for 11:08 pm, keep an eye on the clock and leave the nets bundled until the appointed moment for setting them out for the night catch. The alarm marks the point when waiting turns into action, while 12:00 am remains a useful reference if your preparations continue towards midnight. Keep the ropes, floats, and other gear together so you can move without searching for anything in the dark.

Because the nets must go out at a specific time, set the browser alarm on a device that will stay awake long enough to sound. Check the volume, keep the page active, and place the device where the signal will carry over voices, engines, or water. If the browser is no longer running or the device sleeps first, the alarm for laying out the nets will not sound, and the planned start may pass unnoticed.

As the night catch approaches, listen for how the surroundings settle after the busier evening hours. Near shore, karaoke, tricycles, passing bancas, and conversations may still mask a soft signal at 11:08 pm, though the area can grow quieter towards 12:00 am. Use an alarm tone that differs from the nearby noise, and keep the device close enough to hear without placing it beside wet ropes or splashing water.
