DOS Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 No bananas in my boat. Never start the day with a brand new lure, must be one that has caught a fish previously. Can be changed in five minutes, but first cast is always old faithful. Dan
wormdunker Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 I always make sure my pliers are out of my tackle bag & within reach. Many times I've been trolling for walleye & forgot to get my pliers out - no fish. Then I remember the pliers - get them out. You know the ending! FISH ON!
glenner Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Catching a fish on the first cast is a bad omen.. Always screws up the rest of my day (Unless I'm steelheading) Ha, I agree with this, BillM. I always say it's like when you're golfing and you smoke your first drive right down the middle - rest of the round will be a disaster!
MrSimon Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 I have a lucky lure that has caught me more fish over the years than everything else combined. It's 'retired' now ... I couldn't stand losing it. But it is always in my tackle bag ... in a jewelry box like a wedding ring would come in. I feel naked if the boat if that lure isn't with me. I have a feeling that one day the fishing will be so horrible that I'm driven to tie it on ..... and it will catch the biggest fish of my life.
manitoubass2 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Ha, I agree with this, BillM. I always say it's like when you're golfing and you smoke your first drive right down the middle - rest of the round will be a disaster! Nonsense lol. Im the opposite. A good first drive and I play good all round. Same goes for a good first put. Thats why i always hit the practise green for 15 minutes before a round. A few chips and flops, some puts. Easily saves 5-8 shots off each round I still suck at golf though. I average about 92 lol. Never bothered to figure out my handicap, always just replied with "very handicap" when asked haha
mattaw Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 No superstitions. There's lots of things I do on a regular basis but they fall into the category of preparation. This x2
Canuck2fan Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 ALWAYS DIP THE NET!!! ALWAYS!!! S. NEVER EVER let the net touch water until it is netting a fish.... The only thing worse than christening an empty net is if some idiot has a banana with 100yds of me while fishing. People have walked home when I am driving and they pull out the yellow kiss of death for success on a fishing trip LOL.
Gerritt Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 I would like to know where the banana superstition evolved from.... I have been hearing this for years here... Does anyone know the history behind it?

Acountdeleted Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) If it's a bad day before drilling my first hole ice fishing, it's going to be a bad day ice fishing. I had an 'unlucky hat' a Toronto st pats hat. Bad luck always happened when I wore it. Edited February 20, 2015 by jeremy84
lew Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 My life seems sooooooo dull not having all these superstitions to worry about before I head out for a day of fishing
manitoubass2 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) My life seems sooooooo dull not having all these superstitions to worry about before I head out for a day of fishing Yip, more time for casting When I lay tobacco its not actually a superstition. Its an aboriginal offering to the creator. I just believe its an honourable thing to do. If your gonna take, you gotta give back Edited February 20, 2015 by manitoubass2
bigugli Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 I would like to know where the banana superstition evolved from.... I have been hearing this for years here... Does anyone know the history behind it? The banana curse is just one of many old sailor's superstitions. Others would be opening a can upside down. Leaving a knife stuck in wood. Making a glass sing. Never give a toast with water. Not even to the Queen.
fishing n autograph Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah I have one... I don't go fishin because I never catch anything ?
DanD Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah I have one... I don't go fishin because I never catch anything Hopefully that also doesn't happen in your professional career? LOL Sorry I couldn't help myself. Dan.
Acountdeleted Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Oh, I forgot this one too. First fish on opener (or after the season opens) gets to go back. They have to tell all the other fish how nice I am.

Two that I got from my father and have always observed - not strictly for fishing, just all purpose superstitions - don't put new shoes on a table and never throw your hat on a bed. Have no idea the origin or rationale for these, but I have found myself following them without even realizing it sometimes.
