Hated sounds of fishing

[JackstrawIII]

The subtle “tink” sound of breaking line. Sounds like a gunshot in that moment. 

[islandbass]

I hate the sound braid makes when it rubs hard against the guides. Sounds like an evil violin. I hate that sound on TV and I hate that sound from the angler next to me. 
 

But if it’s my rod, shoot… That’s music to my ears. ??

[Darren.]

For me it is music on the water. People cranking tunes while fishing.

I escaped society to get into nature for a few hours, not listen to 

radio. Especially when it is calm ... and the sound just carries ... across

the water....

When a Beaver slaps the water with the force of a thousand tsunamis in the middle of the night

I have experienced this just as the sun rises. Scares the crap

out of me, especially when the beaver is like 15 feet off the

port bow....

I had a beaver swim under my canoe once in gin clear, shallow water in northwestern Ontario. I was shocked at its size. 

 

I agree about music. Isn't being on the water enough? Why turn the outside into the inside?

One of these breaching where I’m fishing with a bass in its mouth

GAS LEAF BLOWERS.....debil's machines 

I thought that I was the only one that hated these things. I fish in neighborhoods that hire large crews to maintain green space. Seems I'm always fishing at the wrong time.

[fishhugger]

people BLARING music, with no or little consideration for people who don't want to hear their awful distorted so-called music. i just pack up and move or leave.

i tried.  i spent my EB money on fishing stuff.  in general, it is the act of blowing leaves that bothers me.  

 

i need an electric blower badly.  i like it for preblowing excess water off my washed car before towel drying.  and it is the best way for me to clean my garage.  

Sorry for hijacking the thread....but our local movie theater uses a leaf blower to tidy up the floor between shows. They just use the blower to blow all the popcorn, drink cups, candy wrappers, etc. to the main aisles, then pick them up from there. Pretty cleaver idea if you ask me. Of course, they do a complete cleaning at the end of the night.

@Kirtley Howe  very cool!!  

[TnRiver46]

I thought y’all might find this funny

 

i was fishing in my canoe one time right before dark and listening to classic country music on my Bluetooth speaker. This jon boat was coming near me so I turned it down a little. Then he starts fishing a little closer and I’m like dang what’s going on here. I asked him if he was having any luck and he said no I was just trying to get closer so I could hear Hank! 

[LrgmouthShad]

My pedal drive on my Hobie has started to squeak and squeal and I hate it. I hate it a lot. Think it's got something with me trying to pedal through copious amounts of hydrilla

[Columbia Craw]

It’s not so much the actual sound, but the pungent odor that soon follows.

Hey, that's wasn't me!

[pdxfisher]

The woosh of a rod unloading when a big fish becomes unhooked.  I have heard that sound too many times this year

[Pat Brown]

'Im snagged, dad' is pretty high up there.

 

Prop crunching into something.

 

Actually not fond of the sound of a large bass splashing around on the surface on the end of my line.  Lost plenty when they're doing that.  Also caught plenty.  It's stressful to say the least when they waller.

 

Rod snapping always not fun.

 

Line snapping not fun.

 

Definitely when bank fishing in the early AM, ANY human sounds make my hair stand up for a second.

The sound of said jig hissing through the air right past your head

 

Night fishing, with a shakey head in shallow water.

 

Snagged on a stickup.

 

Remember that copper rivet they used to put right at the center point in a pair of 501's? 

 

Yes, that one. That was the point of impact.

 

I heard it coming, but I never saw it coming.

Ouch!!!

 

I’ve been extremely lucky on that one - closest I’ve ever come was a Shad Rap imbedded in my shoelaces.

[Phelptwan]

Sound of drag slipping on a hookset.

Pat, "I'm snagged, dad" made me laugh, for I got it at the other end, where my dad said, again and again, "I'm stuck. We'll have to go to shore to free me."

 

I get this too: "Definitely when bank fishing in the early AM, ANY human sounds make my hair stand up for a second."

 

Critters don't scare me, but voices in the dark sure do.

I don't mind that sound. To me, it confirms that I'm setting with all due force and suggests I've a fine fish at the other end.

[Chilidog]

The sounds of a lure smacking the side of my boat,  This time of year it's chains saws, mowers and leaf blowers all day long.

[jbmaine]

Jetskies, pontoon boats, loud music are right up there for me.

 However, my most hated sound isn't a sound but rather a lack of sound. I've been fishing the same waters off and on for 60 + years. Last few years I've noticed a rapid decline in water quality is some lakes we fish. Water visibility is cut in half. Green algae slime on the bottom. We noticed the turtles were disappearing. This year we noticed there were no frogs croaking along the weedy shore line. Also no sound of loons. Couple with the fishing has really gone down hill in these lakes and it makes us worried.

Maine Fish & Wildlife notes causation between shoreline development and loss of water quality. Are you seeing new homes on the shorelines of these lakes?

Oh Ya! big houses going up all the time. We hate seeing all the seasonal camps and undeveloped shoreline disappearing but there it is.

[Skunkmaster-k]

The sounds my stomach makes when the bite is hot with no bathroom for miles. Pooping off the back of the boat is humiliating. 

[galyonj]

Hehe. Poop deck.
