Lucky Craft Man Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I have a vanity plate on my car that proclaims I am a fisherman. Quote
Olebiker Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Tallahassee Bass Anglers license plate on the front of the truck, Humminbird, Falcon Rods, and B.A.S.S. stickers in the rear window, caved in license plate in the rear from hitting it with the trailer while hooking up the boat. Quote
Dylanl Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I have a St. Croix sticker on my car window right now. I have a couple fishing shirts I wear once in awhile to. I don't feel a huge need to show it off. People who know me know I fish. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted April 2, 2012 Super User Posted April 2, 2012 Ironic, yes, but true just the same. If you didn't know me it would be a rare occasion when you could tell I was an angler by my clothing or anything else. Of course, when I'm pulling my boat or I have a jon boat hanging out the back of my truck it is obvious but that's not showing off. That's a necessity to go fishing. Quote
redboat Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I make it a habit to wear my Cabellas cap to Bass pro and vice versa. I fish Abu Garcia, Shimano, and Quantum rods, but since GLoomis is giving away hats and shirts FREE I suppose I'll get me some of 'em. If they start giving away their fish poles for free I'll probably get me some of THEM too. Just sayin... Quote

Then I found out they don't have any warranty, and neither does Gloomey. So I buy other products these days. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted April 2, 2012 Super User Posted April 2, 2012 I don't, and I won't, unless someone can convince me that stickers, decals, and other paraphernalia affixed to me or my truck will make me a better fisherman. Quote

When a passerby will strike up a convo since he noticed a common ground it might lead you to a honey hole,where theyre hitting, or at the least a good story. Quote

My experience is that there are very few anglers who will give the keys to their honey hole to a total stranger. But, it's just me. If someone wants to cover the dents and diggers on their boats or tow vehicles, that's great. It's just not my style. There is no right or wrong when it comes to displaying your interests. Well, most interests anyway. Quote

There is no right or wrong when it comes to displaying your interests. Well, most interests anyway. I see your point, my area is much different. Such poor conditions to fish its more like you have to tell others. There are the idiots out there though I admit that, but hearing about locations help me out. Quote
gr8outdoorz Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Only ones that need to worry whether I fish or not...are the fish! 1 Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted April 3, 2012 Super User Posted April 3, 2012 I carry around a Bass that I caught 4 years ago everywhere I go. Theres not much left of it but some dried up skin and protruding skeleton, and it kind of smells, but its a good conversation starter! 1 Quote
SAC2 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 ive got a sticker of a smallie in my back window and wear a fishoflauge hat just about everywhere i go. im normally tinkerin with, or talking about something pertaining to fishing at pretty much all times. i dont purposely flaunt the fact i'm a fisherman, but i just can help myself from showing something i'm so passionate about.

Wild Bill [NY] Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 The green Ranger towed behind my Suburban kind of tells them... Har, har, har !! Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 When at work I just complain to whoever that will listen that I ought to be fishing rather than stuck there with them. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted April 5, 2012 Super User Posted April 5, 2012 My G Loomis tattoo. Okay, not true. I suppose that the "free" TW sweatshirt from 2 BF's ago that I seem to wear all the time I'm not working gives me away. Quote
Super User Ratherbfishing Posted April 5, 2012 Super User Posted April 5, 2012 Don't need to show off. But if one was to ask how people can identify me as a fisherman, I'd say it's the nervous tick I've developed from all the hours of waiting for that minute little "tap tap" on the other end of the line or, perhaps, the odd expression I now have from holding my mouth just so.
