Fishing Superstitions

[jedimaster]

NEVER put water in the livewell before the first catch.

If you fill it before a fish goes in you are sure to be driving a water tank with no fish in it around the lake all day long.

 

NEVER make special accomidations to go get a camera or a net that was forgotten.

If you turn around to get your camera or your net that you forgot at home you are sure to be skunked.

I never have the net ready. It is stored in the bottom of the boat. I usually lose the first fish of the day trying to get the net out

Banana

 

Nough said....

LOL !!!! I knew you were gonna say that !!!! He is serious guys. I have been warned by Mike to never ever ever bring a banana on his boat in my lunch. !

[mercman]

Yup, banana's are a no-no. Although one day I put a chunk of banana on a hook and caught a sunfish and perch

[alphaalpha]

not sure but for some reason i like to set my downriggers on the one's. ie: 51', 61', etc and same with my dipsy lines out 151 161 etc. also 123' of line out seems lucky

I don't like it when people bring bananas onboard. Some people really gobble them down.

If the volcano above your favorite spot is erupting fishing will be poor.

 

If a crocodile attacks your surface plug, you will lose your interest in fishing for a week.

 

If an old man with a harpoon suddenly appears in the bow of your boat and is pointing at a white whale....get the hell out there!!

No body has told the fish I catch about the banana thing either.

Superstitions are masks of confidence, so best thing to bring would be your determination I'd say.

I think the silliest superstition is the one where someone actually thinks a silly superstition will actually have an effect on your days fishing success

you're right, its why everyone goes to their "lucky lure" when the fishing gets slow

[Floren Lukatsky]

bananas were always big for me. add me to that list

I think for most it's more about a funny story or ongoing joke...

 

It adds to the fun of fishing....

[Dave Bailey]

I think it's high time that someone made a lure that looks like a banana...

[Acountdeleted]

I have to always say 'last cast' for my last cast of the outing. And regardless what I catch on that last cast, it must be the last cast.

[dhickey]

I wash my hands and feet at the shoreline with mud or sand no soap as soon as I get to it.

Then set up the boat before my 2nd beer.

[Dave Bailey]

I have absolutely no belief in the supernatural whatsoever, so I'll never be superstitious, touch wood.

 

Oops...

[SirCranksalot]

I always count down my last 3 casts. If I get a hit though, I'll stay around a little while.

[Whitespinnerbait]
