Kyle1387 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 lately I feel like I've been getting super superstitious when fishing and was wondering what everyone else's "boat no no's" 2 of the biggest ive noticed lately is if I well a big fish for end of the day photos my bite dies immediately Another is filling the livewell immediately. Hate having to fill it with a fish inside but it seems whenever I fill it at the ramp no fish ever go in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phiderman Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Livewell pumps make a lot of noise, when you pull your boat out of the water at the end of the day leave your well on. It is a significant amount of noise. I fill mine initially by removing the well plug, this allows it to fill without noise about 1/3. Once I throw a fish in it, I turn the recirculating pumps on, then I give it an hour or two and if my bite shuts off I get my pics and release her. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

bigpoppabass Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Everytime I get the scale ready to start a trip I jinx myself. Same deal when I took an pic of pond conditions before when launching. Haha. First cast fish another. FishDr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also making sure everything is ready on my pontoon (net, camera, scale, measuring tape). Big fish seem much more likely to play when I’m just winging it.

Tony91723 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Not a boat no no, more like a shoreline no no. Is every time I roll out my wcz measuring board and scale on the ground anticipating a fish. I get skunked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every big fish I've caught this year I've been listening to music/podcasts. I will say I won't listen to music unless I'm using headphones.

lurejunkie Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 This is a funny subject because most bass fishermen (myself included) are usually superstitious about bass fishing but not about anything else. I have a lucky hat, t-shirt, sweat shirt (I have been wearing for years) . My buddies give me hell about my lucky sweatshirt that is falling apart but I refuse to retire it because I think it actually helps me catch big bass because it is lucky. LOL I say just go with whatever gives you confidence to keep casting for that "Big Un" Kyle1387 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Gordon Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I got a lot of em! I can't wear underwear on the boat (there's a funny story about me qualifying for HS National Championship and College National Championship w/o them), no banana, make sure net is in the right area, and first cast is always 20 foot off the boat so I can't catch anything first cast.

dheath2 Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Just pre-fishing rituals like tying new leaders/knots and rigging the night before so I'm not wasting time in the morning or when I get to the water. I guess the banana thing is subconscious but I've caught fish with them on board too. Most of my boat no-nos relate to others at the ramp...peeves such as not using the prep area to prep your damn boat. Annoying when folks take 20 minutes in the ramp. I have worn the same green Tilley broad brim hat since 2012. Kyle1387 and jdjtexas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
