Location: New Hope MN | I agree with FishingFool. quiet is best for me. I'm not going to complain if I'm fishing the metro, that's just the way it is...
but if I'm up north and the guy across the point is blaring Seek & Destroy it kind of ruins it for me... I travel up north of the ambiance & fishing. Please show a little respect to the other people out there trying to enjoy nature’s best. |

Location: Contrarian Island | i have the stereo on 80% of the time....once in a while at night we turn it off if we are throwing topwater, the speakers are situated such that even if it's pretty loud in the boat, a boat a cast length away is not gonna hear it.. fish don't care if it's on. |

Location: menasha wi 54952 | At certain times I enjoy having the stereo on especially when you need a song or two to get you going. The fish dont care. I always keep it down or shut it off when others are in the area. Its mainly used for family cruising or days at the beach. Make sure you spend the money to get a quality system or you will just pay more in the future. I would recommend PYLE Hydra 100% waterproof products. They have everything you can think of. Mine really rocks. |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | I've always wanted to put a stereo in my boat but have not just because of encountering some of the wake board boats that are blaring out music. It's not the type of tune it is the volume. I agree use an I pod, music on your phone, headset if you can. I want to hear nature. In MN we spend all winter with very little moving outside, man I want to soak it up. |

Or not. I almost always have the radio on and always have the volume on low. If another boat can hear it, they're too close. I would never use a headset as you still need to hear what's going on around you. Be considerate, there is no need to blare it like some of those wakeboard boats. More like a light background noise than anything.

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Good tunes in my boat. Casting I almost always have the tunes on. Sometimes it can keep you energized and upbeat when the bite is on the slow side. I have had muskies follow in and go around the 8 with the tunes cranking. They don't care on metro lakes. Maybe on a calm quiet morning you wil need to keep it down but if its windy I got them going and rockin out. |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Trolling I can't have them too loud because you need to hear the reels screaming when the fish crushes the bait. Nothing better than drag screaming off a reel. That's music to my ears!!!

| Anyone else see the recent study on reaction time due to distractions ? Focus of course was safe driving but delayed reaction time was evident even with just a radio on. Might be a GOOD thing for daylight topwater strikes. |

| Musky's could care less about the music, they see you staring at them when they follow. If they are going to eat, they are going to eat. That's there nature, just like you and i. Play your music if you want to, it wont bother me any, cause i am going to be jammin mine also.

Eddie Trunk's awesomeness and Hair Nation (ch. 39) has saved the day. |

| Comparing sound coming from speakers on a ski/wakeboard boat to the sound coming from most fishing boats is a flawed comparison. The placement of speakers is key. In most fishing boats, whether by intentional design to keep sound "in" or by design due to available space, sound isn't going to be broadcast outward the way it intentionally is with a different set up.
I can crank my stock boat radio up and yeah, you'll be able to hear it but it's not blaring across an entire body of water. Crank your boat radio up and set a basic radio on the gunnel tuned to the same station. Now turn the basic radio off and check your distance. Now switch it around and leave that basic radio on and the boat radio off. The results might surprise you. If you've modified your audio system in your boat then all bets are off. The point here is the location of the source where the sound is coming from. |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Still have not figured out if the muskies like rock n roll more than country. I guess we will just have to see. Sometimes I'm a little bit country but mostly rock n roll. Tunes in the boat are a must. There are times I don't have them on but when they are its a good attitude adjustment. |
