Well for me it always seems like when my wife comes with me the weather is terrible. Its either extremely windy or it starts raining....or both!

Two truths ;)

Try to make spontaneous trips . . . planning = wind. Be warned, I might be fishing BL next Monday.

I always thought I was the bad luck charm..... All I know is if I'm in a boat with you, you better bring an ice chest full of beer, 2 pockets full of change, and pass by every cow pasture on the way to the launch.

I went on a spear fishing trip with bananas on board. Captain wasn't too keen but to make the customer happy he let us bring them. We had gone with this guy probably 3 times before this and all were stellar trips with 0 hiccups. Everything went great every time. This time my cousins speargun broke, he lost his goggles, his regulator locked up 80 feet down( thank goodness for secondaries). If that wasn't bad enough the boat broke down. Soon as that motor quit I went for the ice chest and threw those bananas as far as I possibly could. Few minutes later the boat cranked up and not a single issue for the rest of the trip. Ever since then I have not allowed bananas on my boat. I did try it once after that trip on my own boat and didn't catch crap in stellar conditions and had a bunch of other things go wrong. It only took me one test trip to ward me off of them forever. I'm not superstitious at all but I certainly don't take the chance anymore

1st fish caught by me or anyone in the group gets thrown back, no matter what!

Haha, on a tuna trip with captain Eddie we had a rough day lost a few wahoo a few nice YF right by the boat, things just weren't going right.

Towards the end of the day after a lot of lost fish my buddy broke out his banana and captain Eddie looked at him like he was crazy! He grabbed the banana and threw it on a nearby boat who immediately scrubbed the banana off of their vessel.

One of my buddies brought a banana on my boat once. Started off kind of slow...After I snatched it out of his hand and threw it overboard, the fishing turned on where we were and started smoking the trout on top. The look on his face when I grabbed and tossed it without saying a word was priceless

Even a 10 pound speck? I'd gladly take that one single fish home and to the taxidermist. [emoji16]

Exactly. If I catch a fish that size I'm useless for the rest of the day anyway. lol

I always bring my fishing poles with me, and my boat keys.

I have gone fishing without them on separate trips and have had terrible luck catching.

Been there, done that!

Also went duck hunting one time and met up with a friend at his blind, but realized I forgot to put my gun in my truck. Worst duck hunt ever! LOL

I'm glad that I never had to make that decision. I grew up fishing Baffin Bay in the late 60s and the 70s and we caught lots of fish back then and plenty of big sows--I won't even say how big because we never took pictures or weighed fish back then, only measured the length of the really big ones.... I think the biggest one we ever had to throw back wasn't all that big---maybe 5 pounds.

Take as many dumps as possible before launching the boat. Usually house, store, boat launch in that order..

Superstitions
 
Agree with no bananas on the boat. Other than that the only other rule is if you catch a fish with a brand new bait on the first cast you might as well throw that lure away, you'll never catch another on that bait.
