Fishing Etiquette

Probably about the same for me. If I'm fishing with somebody else we're usually using it as a chance to bullshite as well.

Wanted to ensure that I was using proper fishermen etiquette.

I'm focused on fishing, but I will bullshite a little. As said already, when beer is consumed, conversation increases.

if I'm with somebody I don't like a lot of chitchat.

I'll talk a bit but honestly I'll smoke a little and will get into a zone and will be concentrating on fishing.

If Alx has trolling motor problems and we aren't catching. We have to have 5 minutes of silence. Other than that when fishing I like to talk about days when I used to catch fish.
Oh, and if there is a chick in a distant boat, I talk about that....all chicks in boats are hot from 400 yards off.

I'd rather fish alone

If I go fishing with someone then beer will be drank and I dont consider it fishing as much as just hanging out drinking beer with some fishing thrown in.

Part of fishing for me is the fellowship. I love to shoot the shite with my buddies while I fish.

Small talk but depends who I'm fishing with. When I go it's by invitation so I'll roll with the flow. Normally 50/50 talk/fish.

When we're on the water it usually consist of loud music and talking



but then again thats always offshore

You kids remember Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In?

Sammy Davis Jr. use to do this skit, dressed like an old English Judge and would say this.

We were on this spot fishing redfish with a friend of ours next to us fishing in their boat. We were catching, they were not. When my Grandpa would hook up he'd start laughing and saying "Here Come Da Judge, Here Come Da Judge...like SDJ would say.

This was back in the late 60's early 70's when there was no limits. I think we caught 20 or so from that one spot.

Catching 50,60, 100 a trip was like falling off a log.
