Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | just out of curiosity, do any of you have superstitions with fishing???
I have a friend that always wears these old stinky shoes, another that needs his red bandana and even another that can't be without his oreo cookies or they wont fish.
i myself am not superstitious. then again, i do always tap the motor twice when i get in the boat. I also talk to my boat out in the driveway the night before each outing or tournament.
over the years, many of my friends have their own strange traditions and superstitions. I'll write about them in a future article.
what are some of your superstitions or traditions as it relates to fishing???
Chris Dymale
The rubber band stretches, the rod doubles over in the holder, then snaps back hard when the band breaks free from the release. The fish pulls hard, stays near bottom with steady/heavy pressure, with very few head shakes. I stand poised at the back of the boat with net in hand, waiting for that first deep water glimpse of that yellow/white tipped tailed monster. Then it happens. One of the clients (usually the one not fighting the fish) says those 4 words I detest. "It's Probably a SheepsHead". Few other things bring me down more. And the actual saying of this poison incantation can (I believe) actually change an 8 pound walleye into a 4 pound sheepie. Capt. Dan.   |

| Gotta have my bananas Moo. |

| Always fill the live well BEFORE you leave the launch, that way the fish know there is something to rest in and get away from the crowd |

| I have to have 2 red bulls and 2 snickers in the cooler every day.
Drink one red bull before take off, second sometime in morning. Can only eat one of the snickers during the day.
But I'm not superstitious  |

Location: Berlin | Not much for me. I just shave all the hair off my butt and sprinkle it over the carpeting for good luck. Of course I am wearing my wifes pink thong the entire time I am doing this. It just happen to work the first time I tried it so now I do it before every tournament. |
