What Music Do You Listen To While Fishing?

[geo g]

I listen to music all the time while fishing. With Pandora and blue tooth it is so easy with an unlimited amount of choices at your finger tips. I love it just loud enough for me and my fishing partner to enjoy, without imposing on others. When bank fishing I use ear buds to enjoy the experience. It helps me concentrate on my fishing. I never listen to the same music day after day.

I wonder if the ones apposed to music in the boat ride around all day in the truck with the windows down, listening to the road. I doubt it! But I do believe in everyone's freedom of choice. Each to their own!

If i didnt have to reload youtube everytime or i could find mp3 files, i like them fishin songs. Mike morazinni,casey ashley, the bait shop parody, etc. But i mostly listen to rock, the good stuff! Pantera,metallica and of course 5FDP. Im the guy headbangin while flippin docks.

[Bankbeater]

I don't listen to anything out fishing.  I like to hear the peace and quiet, but I also like to hear if the fish are jumping.

[Catt]

I like both kinds of music, Country & Western.

Plus a little Van Zant, Allman, Gibbons, or Stevie Ray!

[Zach Dunham]

I usually don't listen to music while fishing because I want to be keenly aware of everything around me, but on my way to the lake I am always blasting heavy metal. Pantera, Down, Lamb of God, Metallica, etc...

[Nitrofreak]

Me personally , I don't like music on the boat when I am by myself , but the family likes it when we are all together on the water , mostly southern rock and country music . 

 

A radio is good to have on the boat for those questionable days when a storm is possible .

[MainelyBASS]

Haven't missed an episode of Howard Stern in probably 10+ years now. Sirius was a must have when I bought a new boat.

 

 

 

 

Jazz, Blues, Classic Rock, and Howard Stern.....

[Mike L]

If I did which I don't,  give me some Smokey,  Temps, 4 Tops etc. And any song about cars or street racing.....Little GTO, 409 etc.

 

Yeah, Yeah I know Im an old guy.

But back in the sixties, that was it!

None and I don't want to hear yours, either!!!!!!!

 

Exactly. The easiest way to get kicked off my boat is to say something like, "Hey, can we listen to some music? or "Hey, it's too quiet out here." Or to chat on your phone. Emergencies I get, everything else can wait.

I don't listen to anything while I'm fishing but usually on the way to fishing I'll be blasting old school hip hop (preferably Wu Tang) or heavy metal.

*thumbs up* to the Wu-Tang Clan, greatest hip hop group ever, especially from early 90s to late 90s. I usually listen to them while packing for a fishing trip to smith mtn lake, if not them then its old 80s hair metal and the monster ballads...

 

as for while fishing, out on a boat, not typically unless my uncle gets bored and wants to listen to music while i fish. but when im back on the dock that night, catfishing and bait fishing for whatever wants to bite, then i will have the radio on playing classic rock, and then on saturday nights the classic rock station airs Dee Snyders House Of Hair from 10pm-12am and i typically turn it up and let it blast. caught some nice fish during House Of Hair. fish love classic rock and hair metal. ive tried changing over to hip hop while fishing and the bite dies.

 

i hear some creepy sounds at night while fishing and the music helps cover many of those up lol. i've felt spooked enough to call it a night early by some of the sounds, or having the feeling of being watched. or hearing something running on two legs and crashing through the woods, uh yeah, so i was really spooked at night that year...

You must realize how well sound travels over water. It is very easy to hear conversations across the water. If you and your fishing partner can hear the music, so can a lot of other folks who may not share your taste in music.

 

I listen to a lot of music in my truck to and from the lake and all over but there is a time and place for everything. For me, the lake is is where it gets turned off.

[Master Bait'r]

I usually don't listen to music but if I do it's probably my Bob Marley or Slightly Stoopid Pandora stations.  Don't wanna mess up my high maaaaaaaaaaaaaan

Boaters sometimes forget that when the boat is underway, conversation and music must be pumped-up to compete with motor noise.

While passengers just 6 feet apart are in a shouting match, you're 50 yards away and can hear every word clearly. 

Then one of the guys hollers "WHAT?", now you've got to listen to the same speech again, this time at a higher decibel

How much data does that eat up? I use Pandora on Wi-fi, but have loaded lots of MP3's on my phone to avoid streaming when connected on mobile.

[collards]

I fish for peace & quiet.

  I'll X20 it ! I hate being out on the water and some dip has his radio turned up. I can see if your out parting in a pontoon boat. Oh wait. No I can't even understand that. If you don't like nature get out of it so the rest of us can enjoy it.

  I love music. I have a real nice surround sound in my house and some outside speaker on my back deck. I keep it turned down so my neighbors don't hear it. But I love to after a days work to come home have a cocktail and relaxe to some soft music. I even go down to New Orleans once or twice a year to hear some great music. But when I go out in nature then that's my music and I don't want to hear yours.

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.

 

I know your pain.

I have that too. Sometimes, it's so loud I can't hear the voices in my head.

[BassAssassin726]

My ipod goes from Bach to Slayer and everything between. But being a guitarist I tend to lean more towards guitar heavy music. Metallica, Megadeth, Children of Bodom, Slayer, Testament, Anthrax,  Pantera, Iron Maiden, Zepplin, Hendrix, SRV, Django Reinhart, Chet Atkins, all sorts of stuff. But I love what they would call "shredders". Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Satriani, Tony MacAlpine, the list goes on and on. But I must admit, there is something awesome about listening to great classical composers while on the lake as the sun is coming up and hooking into one of them chunky green fish. Lol

[BassAssassin726]

Slayer

Um, I believe you mean, SSSLLLAAAYYYEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At the top of your lungs. Lol

[ColdSVT]

Depends...sometimes its rock other times country. In sundays i usually listen to the nascar race

Volume level is usually so low that only i can hear it

[deadadrift89]

Never while fishing but running from spots and sometimes eating lunch....

I don't listen to music while fishing but not for the reasons already listed....  if i were to listen while fishing it would be on my iPhone.  That same iPhone is my A. emergency tool should i need to call someone B.  camera for my monster pigs i'm going to catch that day C. my weather source

that said, my battery dies too quickly while listening to music so it just doesn't work for me.

 

now if none of that were of any concern i'd be listening to anything and everything that i could find.  Wu Tang, Garth Brooks, 311, Bob Marley, Hendrix, Tool, 2Pac, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Nas, Eric Church, the Roots, Stanton Warriors, Jason Aldean, Incubus, Daft Punk, the Black Keys .... i could go on and on and on.......

 

people like me with no music loyalty have got to LOVE pandora and other music streaming outlets like it......
