Set the alarm for 7:09 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 7:09 a.m.

Before handing the net-setting to the next person, you set an alarm for 7:09 am so the morning tide does not catch the crew unprepared. It gives everyone a shared moment to check the floats, lines, and assigned section while the sea is still changing. With 8:00 am approaching, the handover can include exactly what remains to be placed and where the incoming crew should begin.

During this fishing handover, keep the alarm page visible or return to it occasionally after opening another screen. A browser may reduce activity on a page left in the background, so confirm that the alarm is still running before the net-setting passes fully into someone else’s hands. It will not sound if the page has been closed or the phone has gone to sleep; that could leave the nets unset when the tide arrives. Keep the phone awake and the sound level audible.

Anyone taking over the nets should allow for the early trip from the barangay or landing area, not just the work beside the water. Around this hour, jeepney stops, tricycle availability, school traffic, and narrow coastal roads can change the journey. Agree on a departure point and add a small travel buffer, especially if gear must be collected on the way, so the 7:09 am alarm marks arrival at the shore rather than departure from home.
