Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 The gods,....oh, the gods. Myu partner and I have been long time practitioners of'superstitious behavior. We NEVER wear matching socks, and we NEVER talk on the ride to the lake about how we are gonna "smoke 'em" cause the conditions are sooo on! Anyone else have any quirks? Quote
mtangtong Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Ya, when ever my buddy and I go cat fishing we always put in a dip. We pefer the brand Kodiak. For some reason whenever we have one in we catch alot. Quote
kcaminitti Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Yeah, I tend to have to put a dip of kodiak in at every trip, but then I have a dip of kodiak 4 or 5 times a day anyway. Quote
BD Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Snuff (timberwolf though) and being quiet, that's about it here. Quote
GobbleDog Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 I'll only wear white T-shirts while fishing. I once wore a bright red T-shirt to a tournament and didn't do well. Since that day (about 3 years ago), I only wear white shirts. "Look at me! I'm a cloud!" Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted June 7, 2005 Super User Posted June 7, 2005 This is a wierd one: I set my alarm clock according to the biggest fish I think I can catch the next morning of fishing. For example, on my trip down to Lake Fork earlier this year I wanted to catch a 10 lber. ...... so I set the alarm for 5:10. It worked. I caught the 10.5 lber in the picture. It's worked a couple of other times too. Quote
Phishn_Phool Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 G-Dog You mean every tournament in the last 3 yrs has been good???? CPR ;D Quote
Phishn_Phool Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 KU Set your alarm for 5:22....you will be in the bucks LOL CPR ;D Quote
mullman Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Screw that! Set it for 4:59 and really have fun! Quote
GobbleDog Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 G-Dog You mean every tournament in the last 3 yrs has been good? No. But I partly blamed that bad day on the red shirt. After that, I intentionally wore white shirts and now it's become a habit. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted June 7, 2005 Super User Posted June 7, 2005 KU Set your alarm for 5:22....you will be in the bucks LOL CPR ;D I try to be a little realistic. I don't think there is a world record swimming around anywhere in Kanas or Missouri where I normally fish. Next spring when I go back to Texas though......... 5:20 every morning............. well first I will go for 5:15. Quote
bassfisher02 Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 my mossy oak bass pro hat, and my money boxers, does me good all the time. ;D Quote
spotaholic Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Grandma's Peanut Butter Cookies on the are always on the boat. Quote
Chris Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 When a tournament is up and coming I say to people " I got another tournament to win" I also have copenhagen to calm my nerves. Quote
JT Bagwell Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I had a little thing that used to bug me, but now I am over it. I never wanted the net handle pointed in my direction. Instead I always pointed it at my non-boater. That way it was in the correct position for them to grab it to net my fish. JT Bagwell Quote
Kana Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 First, i always wear one of many light colored fishing t-shirts, it gets me mentally hyped up. and secondly i always "play " (i guess im really organizing) with my lures the night before my planned outing. I used to not do this, but since i started in the last 8 months ive gotten bit more... who knows!? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 8, 2005 Super User Posted June 8, 2005 I'm not superstitious, but I have a friend that throws a dollar in the water to start every trip. Quote
Nick_Barr Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 i always wake up at 3:30 for tournaments because it what time i accedentily woke up for my first tournament, if i hadnt woken up, i would have missed my first tourny because my alarm clock did not go off. Quote
Redtail Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I always take my wide mouth thermos, fill it with boiling water and toss in a few hot dogs. Nothing like a hot lunch out on the boat. Try it sometime, works great! Quote

Rattlinrogue Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 When I have a great fishing day,the cap I'm wearing becomes my "lucky fishing cap" .I'll wear it until the fishing drops off.I'll wear various caps until I have another great day.I'll wear that one until the fishing drops off again. Quote
GobbleDog Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I have a friend that throws a dollar in the water to start every trip. ;D Now that's an appropriate ritual! We all do that every time we go fishing. Quote
