re: Any fishermen superstitious?

I only fish the birds to let the women catch a few fish.....then move to try to catch bigger fish.

good habit

I always pick the days I can. Once in time, it was never if I was gonna limited out it was a matter of how long.

I need to get back to that but I just don't like cleaning all them fish anymore'

My dad believes in everything under the sun. He also never has a "bad" day either. I've never seen him not limit in saltwater or catch fewer then ten bass. Mostly because he is so picky on when and where to go

sounds like my dad. He is the best fishermen i know and most of the locals say that he is the best trout fishermen down there. I remember he use to drink a budweiser on the way out for luck...just one.

No eating until you catch a keeper. And I have to wear the same hat.

Fart in boat=fish call

Several “superstitions” here that are actually based on some degree of scientific truth:


winds out of the east fish bite the least

the activity of the wildlife around the lake to determine how the fishing will be

Spit on your shiner first and you'll catch a big one

Red sky at night, sailors delight
red sky at morn, sailors be warn

unplug my trailer lights everytime I back my boat in

once I catch my first fish, then I've got "the smell" (TWSS) on my hands

I always fish a top water lure at the very end of an afternoon of fishing for bass

dogwood blooming....crappie biting



Mine has no real basis but I have to have my lucky hat and when I was much younger I used to pick the 3 lures (towater, worm, crank) that were going to catch the big one that year on New Years eve. Usually I was right but when you have confidence in a bait you fish it more so….

I kiss my fish on the nose. They seem to love it, so I just keep on catching fish!!!

we will sometimes frick with each other with the banana thing. if the pops is on the boat we won't because "we are fishing not screwing around", but we will bring bananas if we are using more then one boat and try to throw them on the others boat when we get to a good location to jinx them.
