fishing superstitions

[fishsniffer]

dont know if this has been covered or not...do any guys have a superstition...something you do every trip or you dont think youll catch anything..personally i dont like getting the net out until the first fish is at the back of the boat...sometimes i think leaving dusty at home will increase my catch.(anyone whos fished with me knows about dusty:grin:)

The only one I have , would be when i go in the cuddy and sit on the thinking pail , phil ,adam and a few others can vouche for this.

Its realy strange , after doing this , it normaly ends up in a limit or close to it.

the net goes in the same spot everytime. iv seen it if it goes in a different spot its a day of loosing money.

i think everyone does this -NO BANANAS ON THE BOAT

[flyman013]

I rub my hands in the water and rinse my face before the first cast. Not sure why, but have been doing it since I was a kid.

i will be sure and spend more time researching next time...my apologies to you

[Blue Knight]

Again no bananas & don't forget to pay the "Fish Gods". I always carry a pile of pennies & if the fishing slows down throw one in in front of each rigger. Bingo, fish on!

Not quite an superstation, but a change of luck ritual; open a beverage of the barley flavor or start to eat a sandwich….if all else fails….grab the pee bucket

[Nailer]

Yep, Barley Pop is a must.

No need brother......didn't mean to dash your fun.....go for it!

[Just Hook'n]

We use the "pay the fish gods" method.

Keep a roll of pennies on the dash.

If fishing gets slow you see who can hit the rod between the reel and first eyelet with a penny. Has to be from a seated position, preferably the captains chair. BINGO that rod will go almost every time. My aim is getting pretty good, but GLF (Mike) is really good at this one.

Not really a superstition, but if I sit down and put my feet up on the engine cover, it's a sure thing FISHON. Of course when I do this I may have a sandwich or a drink.

I am not sure if it is a good luck omen or a bad luck omen. The first person that looses a fish on my boat has to strap on the belt. Just ask Jay and Mark!

[Rayman96]

Yeah, that'l make better fisherman!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

[KJ pluggin]

We always dance on the engine cover when the fishing slows down. Gets them every time. Have to be a little cautious on the bumpy days though.
