Posts: 8857 | I used to bring a banana along as a snack. Had something like 15 fishless days in a row one year. That winter I watched a charter captain down in Florida throw some poor dude's bananas overboard. (He was so mad I was afraid he was gonna throw the dude in after them) I was laughing to myself, thinking "man, that's stupid, I've brought bananas a bunch of times fishing, and I never heard of them being bad luck before!" Then I realized that there was not one time when I brought bananas on the boat that I had ever actually caught a fish. Stopped bringing bananas. My luck improved. Wasn't until the next season I realized that I had been using banana boat sunscreen, too. AND carrying it with me in the boat! Gave it away. The heavens opened up and the angels sang. I started catching fish. Jeez, almost every time out, seeing fish, catching fish, fish blowing up on baits, fish going round on 8's... No bananas. No banana flavored fruit gum, no Banana Boat sunscreen, no banana logos on hats, or weird hawaian shorts with bananas, no bananas.

Posts: 8857 | lambeau - 10/9/2008 3:30 PM last week FRIDAY after i got done WASHING my clothes and SHAVING i went out fishing in my BLUE boat with my WIFE who wasn't wearing her EARRINGS. it was a beautiful day so i started WHISTLING a tune which seemed to attract a SEAGULL; i killed it with a well-aimed cast and ate a BANANA to celebrate. my wife called me a big PIG for not sharing with her. we didn't catch any fish. weird. Maybe 'ya should try FISHING next time instead of whistling, playing with birds and eating bananas | ||

One trip last year, I remember bringing two bananas on the boat and catching a 46 incher by myself. Then, I ate one and didn’t catch any more muskies that day. Maybe the secret is more bananas!  Edited by T_Musky 10/10/2008 5:05 AM | |||

Posts: 785 | esoxaddict - 10/9/2008 2:18 PM No bananas. No banana flavored fruit gum, no Banana Boat sunscreen, no banana logos on hats, or weird hawaian shorts with bananas, no bananas. I humbly disagree with banana flavored gum, had a couple awsome days on the water chewing some strawberry banana gum! In fact I'm chewing some right now! However in light of Steve's potasium statement maybe thats the secret as gum is all artificial flavoring. I would agree that NO ONE is entering my boat if he has on a banana logo hat, and weird hawaian banana shorts! Kinda stuns me how many people are trying to eat healthy (bananas) while in the boat anyways. I guess going fishless serves you right. I've been safe as a can of pringles and some cosmic brownies is about all you'll find in mine... and thats the way it should be | ||

Posts: 785 | Fish and Whistle - 10/10/2008 12:52 PM Potassium helps break down the lactic acid that builds up in your muscles after casting ridiculously oversized lures all day long. Ok... I guess that would make sense. Brownies and a mountain dew just help to keep a guy hyper on those late nights, but some muscle relief would come in handy... I usually down quite a bit of Ibuprofin to mask the pain and help with imflamation. I still reject all banana apparel though. Attachments ---------------- 12424.jpg (22KB - 117 downloads) | ||

Posts: 94 | Never heard of this before, must be an American superstition or something, never heard of it here in Sweden at least. But does that mean that these badboys (called Deadwood, made by Swedish luremaker Piscatus) bring bad luck?  Attachments ---------------- deadwood_bananas.jpg (65KB - 115 downloads) | ||
