Guest Texas_Bass_Pro Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I was wondering how many anglers here listen to music while they fished? This is something that I tried out this morning and had very good success with. I won a iPod shuffle at our company Christmas party and downloaded some songs on it for my fishing trip. For some reason I felt like I was more calm and was able to slow down my presentation which was the main factor to my success. What do yall think?? Quote
bass109 Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I have before, i used to fish in a highly fished reservior full of good local fisherman. I did listen to music because i didnt want to get into confrontations with them or listen to them when i am trying to enjoy fishing. Quote
Craw Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I've got no problems with anyone wanting to listen to music while they fish. I myself, cannot zone in on my fishing while listening to my ipod. It just messes up my rhythm or something. I don't really understand why. I drive, work and workout to music with no problem, but just can't fish up to my skill level when wearing my headphones. Go figure. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted January 7, 2007 Super User Posted January 7, 2007 Nope, I am not a big nature freak, but I like nature's music when fishing. It's part of the fishing experience IMO. I did try to listen to my Ipod a couple of years ago though. .......... HATED it. Taking away one of my senses really gave me an unsecure feeling out there on the water. That lasted about 20 minutes or so. I suppose if I had a radio/CD player built into the boat, then maybe Quote
Ky_Lake_Dude Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I listen on boat rides that take a little while. Quote
Guest avid Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I want to hear everything the lake has the say. The wind, the birds, the slurping sound of feeding bass. Everything. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 7, 2007 Super User Posted January 7, 2007 No, if I listen to anything it is football games on my portable radio. If you really want oto be boared and slow down, tune in to baseball games!!!! Quote
New 2 Bass Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I voted no but wanted to say sometimes. I nailed a bass to hendrix voodoo child once. As the sun was coming up, you know w/ the red sky. Very nice. Usually I fish in silence. Quote
Valascus Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Absolute silence for me. Although sometimes I will talk to myself. Quote

Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted January 7, 2007 Super User Posted January 7, 2007 If I'm by myself, I will listen to the stereo on the boat. I will listen for weather upates as well as the music. Falcon Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 7, 2007 Super User Posted January 7, 2007 Always, the bass on Toledo Bend are partial to Lynyrd Skynyrd 8-) Quote
Guest avid Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Absolute silence for me. Although sometimes I will talk to myself. ;D ;D ;D Quote
dink Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 No... but I sing. It keeps everyone out of my fishing holes. ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
Bassassasin12 Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 though about trying it once after seeing ish monroe do it on the busch shootout. Never did fish with my ipod. I think I am with KU on this one, thats the same way I would feel if I did. Quote
Troutfisher Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Absolute silence for me. Although sometimes I will talk to myself. Ha Valascus I do that as well, sometimes. ;D Quote
Pa Angler Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 NO, I like the sounds of nature tried the CD thing don't need it disturbs the quiet and serenity. Chow Quote
Vyron Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 No... but I sing. It keeps everyone out of my fishing holes. ;D ;D ;D ;D ahahahahahahahahahaha Quote
CyBasser Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Nice good ol' Greek music (Zeibekiko) when I used to fish for catfish. When I fish for bass I enjoy nature's music and the swearing of my buddies and myself when we lose a big' un ;D! Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I voted Yes, but i usualy dont. (i gave away my MP3 player) I think it is cool to listen to music, but it is also cool not too. Win-win situation. Quote
Hale Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I do when Im by myself. For some reason I can get into a good pattern and the zone quicker when I got the ipod hooked up. I believe it makes me stop thinking about other elements and just fish. Quote
Valascus Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I have a few buddies I fish with that make some "music" of their own when they fish. Can't say I haven't composed some "ballads" myself! ;D Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 9, 2007 Super User Posted January 9, 2007 I have a few buddies I fish with that make some "music" of their own when they fish. Can't say I haven't composed some "ballads" myself! ;D That aint right...LOL Quote
Mobydick Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I think it causes too much vibration, so i just sing it in my head. Quote
BassMaster_1 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I think if it involved head phones then no. I like to be able to use all my senses, and not being able to hear around me wouldn't go over well. I do have 4 8's in my boat that I will turn on and keep low, keeps the wife happy and interested as long as she can listen to her country music. Quote
