basshole8190 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Hey guys I have an iPod I take out on the water and I like to listen to it when my confidence is low or i feel out of my rhythm I think it helps me a lot And even gives me a tempo when using poppers or walking top water baits my most productive retrieve is to George straights all my exes live in Texas haha Quote
basshole8190 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 Was wondering if anyone else does this? Quote
aquaholic Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Never bass fishing, I have done it on river banks fishing for cats at night with a group of friends though. Quote
JellyMan Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I use my iPhone and a Jam Box to listen to music quite a bit. Just depends on my mood. Sometimes i like music and sometimes I like the sounds of my surroundings. I'de say 15% of my time on the water is musical. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 Nah no musi for me Quote
gramps50 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Bank fishing I normally don't listen to music, but when in the boat I will normally play some CW music. BTW normally I am in the boat by myself so the music is my company. Quote
The Commodore Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 It matters if I am fishing with a beer or not. If so then it will be classic rock or late 80's to early 90's country. Quote
rmcguirk Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Yes. About half the time, I will have my music playing on my phone. Quote

Although my music is a little more intense than George Straight. Try walking the dog to some Godsmack lol! 4 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 I am very fortunate to be able to fish places that provide an abundance of "Natural Music", day and night. Anything else, would just be noise. A-Jay 7 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 Nope. Only time I listened to anything (once) was an NFL game while on the water. Prefer to be with the "noise" of nature... Quote

Hyrule Bass Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 depends. if i am on my uncles dock at SML then i will be playing music. most of the time im night fishing there, music helps drown out any creepy sounds and entertains me when the fish arent biting... Quote
chromedog Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I always listen to music. Mostly country or classic rock. Unless the family is with me. Then they want to listen to the top 40 type stuff. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 When I take the kids fishing they bring some music. They don't get so bored if they're not catching. Quote
Trailer Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 A radio is the one feature I wish I had on my boat. I have considered installing one. If I had one I'd play Stranglehold every time I launched! It wouldn't help me, but it would be nice. 1 Quote
basshole8190 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 I do the same thing when I'm out fishing by myself. Although my music is a little more intense than George Straight. Try walking the dog to some Godsmack lol! Lol yea I have some heavier stuff too George straight seems to be the most productive Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 No music for me, but I see nothing wrong with it. After all, fish and music have something in common. Both have scales. 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 When i am fishing by myself i always take the iPod shuffle and keep it at a volume that i can hear the music and still hear stuff going on around me. If i am fishing with friends then the music stays home. Quote
piscicidal Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I do the same thing when I'm out fishing by myself. Although my music is a little more intense than George Straight. Try walking the dog to some Godsmack lol! Probably catch the heck out of some peacock bass with that retrieve! Quote
BassAssassin726 Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Im obsessed with music. Ive been playing guitar since I was 6. Music means a lot to me. For some reason though when Im out fishing I prefer the sounds of nature. The birds, the bugs, frogs, all that good stuff. Its peaceful and relaxing. Quote
jherm87 Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Just depends on the day. I've had some very productive days with an ear bud in. It helps me to stay focused and keeps me from being too antsy 1 Quote
derekxec Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 i listen to music whenever im fishing through pandora except when im fish saltwater flats...then i have to make sure im very quiet always lol when shark fishing in a boat i like music that has a hard beat to it for attraction Quote
