719BassFishing Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 My favorite time to listen to music is on the way to a tournament. Usually ill listen to something upbeat to get me in the zone. Quote
gallowaypt Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I listen to music when I'm fishing for cats. Bass fishing, I'm too concentrated for music. Quote
Fish Murderer 71 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I listen for the splashing of the fish and try to figure out if it was a bass, catfish, or a gar. I dont even listen to the radio in the truck... Guess I'm not a music person. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 23, 2014 Global Moderator Posted March 23, 2014 No music for me, I'm too concentrated on listening for signs of fish to listen to music. More than once I've heard fish breaking surface, chasing bait, that's turned a slow day around into a productive day. 1 Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 23, 2014 Super User Posted March 23, 2014 I don't listening to anything while on the water. The sounds of being on the water is music to my ears. On the way to the lake though that's a different story, especially on the morning of a tournament. I've got a homemade CD that has mostly songs about fishing on it including two of Casey Ashley's best of "That's What I'm Fishing For" and "Fisherman" (if you haven't heard them and you're into fishing, YOU NEED TO). They help remind me to stay grounded. Also the cd has a good mix of country rock and even a little pop n hip hop. It all works together to help get me JACKED....like I really needed a reason other than fishing lol. Quote
BassThumbAddict Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I like country and western and also a lot of Otis Redding and James Taylor Quote
blongfishing Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 85% of the time I don't listen to music but occasionally I will listening to some classic country Quote
reb67 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 The birds, tree frogs, crickets, squirrels and just the rustling of the leaves in the trees if you really listen that's real music. But that's just me. Come to think of it I don't remember ever encounter a bass fisher on the water listening to music Quote
papajoe222 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I have a hearing condition called tinnitus which is a constant ringing in my ears. As a result, my love of music is limited to those times that it isn't contributing to the noise already in my head. Sadly, fishing isn't one of those times, otherwise it'd be jazz, classic rock and C&W in that order. Quote

BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 23, 2014 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 23, 2014 Black Sabbath to Bob Marley to Hank to Justin Timberlake. It depends on which of my girls is choosing the music. If I'm by myself it's old school hip hop like Orbit or Strafe. 2 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 23, 2014 Super User Posted March 23, 2014 This nature you guys talk about must include guys in outboards doing 70 mph across the lake, people in wave runners shooting donuts and people talking, LOL. That's usually what I hear when I am expecting silence. Now, a tree stand, that is a different story. Nope. No outboards on the reservoirs I fish. Electric only, so pretty quiet! Quote
snuffboX Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 a little Whitechapel and Impending Doom to get the blood flowing in the morning. but nothing on the water 1 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted March 23, 2014 Super User Posted March 23, 2014 No music...why!!! I go to get away from "most of the sounds". Early morning and late eve's my favorite. Used to fish lake Powell many years ago and if you want quiet that is the lake. You will hear nothing....I mean nothing when you are back in those canyons. It's almost erie. Once in awhile there was a little bird that would make this cool noise but not often. Beautiful place. Quote
RipSomeLips Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I always use headphones when fishing ponds close to my neighborhood. it helps drown out the barking dogs! There is always a BARKING DOG. I actually listen to podcasts or a mixture of all music except heavy metal or rap. Quote
RAMBLER Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 None and I don't want to hear yours, either!!!!!!! I guess there a few others that feel the same way. I've had 9 "likes" on my comment. 2 Quote

Hittmann Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I listen to everything from AC/DC to 2 Chains depends on the mood. I feel like it puts me in the right mind state to just slow down and really cover a area. Quote
