Incredible reframing here. The distinction between cognitive fatigue and phyiscal fatigue is someting most people miss when they're pushing throgh a long trip. I've noticed similiar patterns where late-day mistakes aren't about effort but bandwidth. Treating attention like intervals makes alot more sense than just grinding harder through mental fog.
“Bandwidth” really is such a useful way to name what’s actually getting taxed late in the day. I love the interval framing, too. Most fishing days aren’t meant to be sustained at peak output; they’re a series of demands that benefit from intentional downshifts in between.
When we treat attention the way we might treat effort in training(with periods of recovery built in) decision-making stays cleaner and we don’t burn through all of our cognitive fuel + reserves.

Thanks for this.

Appreciate you naming that so clearly.
