John 21:3 - Additional Comments

We don't know how many days it had been since they last saw Jesus. It sounds like Peter's decision to fish was a spur-of-the-moment decision. He may have wanted to retreat to his "cave".
They spent all night awake fishing. That's a long time to work for no results. God was supernaturally preventing them from catching anything, for His purposes. But, it probably on occasion would happen anyway.
