fishindevil Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 fishergirl72 gave me a liilte crystal glass fish with 10kt. gold fins with a saying on the box that says the following. you fisherman may tell your tales,of those that got away so heres a fish,not very large,but it for sure will stay.....so everytime i go fishing i pic it up and give it a rub and then i go,so everytime since the early fall ive done this i always have done well.so i guess thats my new lucky charm........the one time i didnt rub it and went i didnt catch a thing so she says its the lucky fish.......cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 If I see the cows in the field lying down I may as well pack up and head home... I don't but, usually have a skunkeroo day... Maybe I'm conditioning myself to have a bad day... Like Norman Vincent Peal sez in the Power of Positive Thinking...hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsbassman Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 If I see the cows in the field lying down I may as well pack up and head home... Hey Beans, a couple of old guys from Pennsylvania told me and my boys about that over 25 yeas ago. The rest of it was if they are feeding then everything else is feeding. Coming home from a trip once (we'd had a slow fish), everything was feeding, Cows, horses, sheep, chickens. I was going to turn around and go back!!

Carp Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Ya, I have to agree making sure the plug is in the boat is a ritual when I go fishing. Can't really think of anything that stands out, but I'm sure there's a few things I do the same every time I go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) If I see the cows in the field lying down I may as well pack up and head home... 1.That isn't a superstition Beans... it's a fact!!! 2.I always catch more fish if I don't wear a shirt! 3.Lungelarry Posted Today, 03:39 PM Never brag to your fishing partner if your having a good day,cause the tide WILL turn...... This is also a fact! 4.If you see Wildlife moving (Deer, Turkeys, Rabbits, etc.) while traveling to your fishing destination, you'll have a good day. 5.I've also found if you don't put the plug in the back of the boat... the bilge will be cleaner when you return home than when you left, so if you want your bilge cleaned out.......... 6.You will always catch a lot more and bigger fish the day before a tournament, than the day of the tournament. 7.No mattter how large or small, always take a picture of the first fish of the day. 8.It always helps to hold some small fish captive or "hostage" in the livewell. 9.Never eat seafood the night before a fishing trip... steak is the best "luck" food for fish. 10.Bananas and the people that bring them onboard should be disposed of as soon as found!!!... do you understand this Maureen? I hope these help. Edited December 16, 2006 by Greencoachdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bly Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I never let anyone on a boat with bananas or Tunafish sandwiches,thats just a jinx waiting to happen , Brian Never been into superstitions, but after a deep sea charter in Hawaii a few years back I don't like to see bananas in the boat.... Whopper 10.Bananas and the people that bring them onboard should be disposed of as soon as found!!!... Ok, I just have to ask....what is with the bananas????? blyght Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Taking bananas on a fishing trip would be the same as playing AC/DC on the biggest boom box you could find in your tree stand while deer hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setomonkey Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I've got a favorite hat & t-shirt that I try to remember to wear when I go out for a day, but I don't always remember to. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I have a good luck charm. This guy! He's a happymeal toy that came along in the boat on a family outing to a local conservation area. When my daughter got bored, she'd play with Mikey. He's stayed in the boat box (along with a jar of bubbles) for years until I set him up in the front of the boat. Kinda like a hood ornament. Mikey is also good for holding fish that are so small, you're too embarassed to appear in the pics yourself. And for holding musky lures, making them look more impressive. Give em a thumbs up Mikey.

Clampet Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 At first I couldn't think of anything, then I realised, years ago I used to save up some eggshells to sprinkle down the hole cause it was supposed to attract the fish or something, other than that I don't have any particular ritual or anything.

Incudentally my luck has seemed to increase since I did this (Karma?) Also when tying the "trilene" knot, 8 line wraps when fishing for trout and 6 wraps when fishing for salmon. jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
