ccmtcanada Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I was reading the last cast thread and realized that when I am shore fishing, I always say "last cast" out loud. When I'm in a boat fishing, I always take a picture of the first fish caught....no matter what species or how small it is... Do you have any superstitions or rituals you do when fishing to bring you luck? Let's hear them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 When the gas can needle is close to E, I start listen for sputtering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 When tying a double uni knot, I use 5 turns on the braid, and 6 on the mono. 11 is my lucky number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Fishing with my brother, I always catch a walleye when he pours himself a Tea! My favourite saying in the boat "Come on, scare me!" I say it several times during the day and more time than not, I feel the "tick" or see my line "twitch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2fan Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I have a couple.... If I see a skunk driving to a spot I suggest we just turn around and go home if I am alone I will go to a different spot than I was heading to in the first place at the very least LOL. The other one is when fishing with my dad I always pack a lunch and it is always exactly the same, had good luck when I threw it together at the last minute one time and now I always take it along. (should maybe drop this one as we have been skunked the last 4 times out but traditions die hard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I only have one ritual, I have to catch big fish when I fish with U & Me Charters and so far I have performed that ritual every time LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 and realized that when I am shore fishing, I always say "last cast" out loud. As you have been in my boat, I too say this no matter where i am fishing (boat or shore) But if you catch one (anyone in the boat or with you for that matter) you get a free 5 min. extension of fishing time before you have to say it again. Other then that, make sure I have a lighter and smokes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scugpg Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) I find when I get the net ready on the trip it usually ends up being a slow day. If I leae it tucked away I usually have to scramble many times to get it. Edited November 10, 2011 by scugog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishforfun Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Wet the net! It needs to be totally immersed in water and brought back on board or you will be skunked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 ritual - I only stop at a Tim Horton's for coffee on my way fishing, otherwise I never go there (either make my own or drink the swill at work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I used to have superstitions, but my astrologer said I was being silly. But now my palm-reader tells me my astrologer is nuts. Don't know what to do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
