The music is mediocre, but two things that don't belong on the water - Pink fuzzy hats, and eye liner!

Wow, didn't mean to stir anything up negative......?
Joe B and Brian S are the only two guys that I know of that are muskie fisherman/musicians with CD's.
Just wondered if there is anyone else out there.
If so I would gladly buy there music to support them.

Paul,

If you're interested in more music by fisherman, I know Dennis Radloff is in a band, check him out. Also, check out Ryan Buth on www.myspace.com or www.facebook.com and listen to his stuff. His band is called, "Kill Courtney". I like his solo stuff the most, Kill Courtney is a little intense.

I can't stand music when I'm fishing. I enjoy the peace and quiet. You got an
ipod and headphones....fine. Guys with tunes echoing across the lake at 5AM, no thanks.

Fishing on a summer evening listening to Ueker call the Crew games over a cheap radio is a tradition. It always takes me back to fishing of the resort docks when I was a kid not allowed to take the rowboats out. Now more of my time is spent on those same resort docks with my nephews listening to the same thing. Priceless.

We keep it low out of respect for guys like the Beav.

The Beav's got it right, again. Bad music coming across the water ruins the atmosphere. Just got a newer boat with radio/tape. Probably have a game on or what you guys call the "oldies" station- volume lower out of respect for all of you.
Have a great spring!

Uecher on the radio is fine. The word 'respect' in that post is what it is all about.
Metallica, with some guy with a tin ear trying to sing along is enough to make anyone crocthety.

I guess I'm now offically middle aged. Yuck! I can see both points of view about this music on the water debate. Part of me wants the peace and quiet at times and part of me wants the Tool, Godsmack, Trivium, Lamb of God, Metallica cranked at full volume. I hate being middle aged. Heck, I just cut off all my long hair. I really hate being middle aged. lol

Actually, Lamb of God is just a little to intense even for me. Not very fond of the band name either, but I didn't name them.

Don't look at it in a bad light, you are merely growing up.
Being polite should never be seen as a bad thing. BTW I was lucky enough to fish with Bob Uecher on several occasions. There is not a funnier person alive.
If crotchety means wanting to fire at will at the jet-skiers who never went to bed and are doing a sunrise slalom run through the bay full of cabbage that you planned to fish, I say bring on crotchety.
Noise is noise, period. Keep it in your boat.
It's not that I have anything against music of any kind....except freakin' rap and hip hop.....I just never liked music in the boat, even when I had hair to my shoulders, a cooler of Bud, and fished with Timothy Leary. You guys seem to forget that to make it to crotchety requires you to have made it through the 60's and 70's. It's hard to fish in platform shoes

Well the ropes are taut...
and the stories have all been caught...
there's a frost cover drawn on the shore...
and the catcher still seems to want more.

Through the reel and through the unreal...
It's not what you see but what you feel...
and I keep my ship tight and true...
for the next time that I will see you.

Somehow Erik Jakobson is tied to the Thunderheads... They use their music in the Just Big Muskies DVDs. Very listenable music, especially for us middle agers... Reminicent of Steely Dan, Doobie Bros, Niel Young, Dire Straights, etc. http://www.thunderheadsmusic.com/

The best music I've heard on a Musky Show or DVD is on the Keye's Outdoors. . . Hands down. Something tells me my Badfish DVD's rock too, but I can't remember if they even have music now - it's been a few months since I've watched one and I'm still waking up. Sloan, fill me in.

It all depends on where I'm at. Sometimes music is nice because it helps drown out the sound of the jet skis, waterskiiers, drunks, and a-holes... Other times a few Dead tunes is all you need to set the mood for a nice mellow day on the water. But there are places I fish where making any sort of noise beyond the sound of your baits hitting the water ought to be a crime! Especially at 5:30 in the morning...

Hands down, Uecher is the best thing to listen to on the water. Also, Packer games with Wayne Laravy (sp?) is pretty sweet too...especially when he's able to throw a "dagger" in there. Usually prefer to keep music off; but on those hot, sunny days we usually have to throw something on to keep us awake and jacked up. Same with the late nights, night fishing. If you ever hear somebody at midnight singing very loudly and horribly, it may be me. (I do it in a respectable way that wouldn't wake anyone up though)

I'm an old 'rocker' like Beav. I got over it. Still love the classic rock, and listen when it hits me to. Not in the woods or on the water, though.

Sure, I still bust up the inside of the Tundra blasting audio caffeine out on the road, but that's way less time these days than absolute silence. I find myself thinking alot more as I get older. Hmmm. Tick, Tock.

Used to have a stereo in the boat. Last time I had one, I never once turned it on out there.

Beaver:

You fished with Timothy Leary? Wow! That must have been some trip!! lol
Now that we got the youngsters wondering who the heck he is I guess all I can do is to quote the Moody Blues, "Timothy Leary's Dead." He really is this time.
(now I hear the youngsters asking, who the heck are the moody blues?)

As I seem to recall it's hard to walk up and down stairs in platform shoes too. Ouch!

My band is heading into the studio tomorrow morning to record a demo! Once we get a final cut I will post a track on here for everyone to check out. I'm finally back to 100% on vocals...had a long winter of illness and other things that made it hard to sing...so...we're gonna see what we can get done tomorrow before my guide season kicks into full swing.

In regard to listening to music on the water....sometimes we do it....if everyone in the boat wants it, and we're the only boat out there...usually when we are trolling out in the middle of the bay....in the fall there's usually a Saturday Badger game, and Sundays are for NFL...I've never worried about the sound bothering the fish...I do keep other boats in mind though....besides...most of my clients would rather listen to some music than listening to my BS...LOL

Have a great season everyone!!!!

If your mom used to play "Take on me" when you were young, you're still young.

And I believe that was A-Ha. Moody blues? That's from when I was young!!

Another vote for old and crotchety! No music in my boat, an occasional Brewers, Badgers, or Packers game at modest volumn is tolerable. I went so far as to purchase a super soaker for the boat this year, for those noise machines that encroach on the 50 to 100 foot range I have! Now that's CROTCHETY!

Actually, the Moody Blues song about Timothy Leary is entitled; "Legend of a Mind." Which if you google it you can read the lyrics, if so inclined. Timothy Leary was the acid guru of the 1960's for all the youngsters.

Despite my earlier post about playing thrash metal at high volumes while on the water. I am respectful of others rights to peace and quiet. My right to listen to thrash metal ends where your ears begin, which is something that most people tend to forget when they discuss their "rights."

This is the first boat I've had with a radio/cd player in it and I do enjoy it as I now fish alone most of the time.

I have read the lyrics of meshuggah and some stuff i can relate to muskie fishing but not all of it. But some of the best lyrics in metal today in my opinion. Best metal drummer for sure though.

I give the those guys credit! They have their head and heart in the right place. However, the singing and music needs improvement. I like all kinds of music and if it is done right it can be good. Pink baits good , Pink fuzzy hats bad, unless your a chick!
