Dumb things I do to catch more fish

[KilliansRed]

I always keep the net wet, I occasionally throw quarters in the water as a bribe, randomly say "Lets pack it up", stare into the sun, have a play list of songs that are lucky and is now 23 hours long, bring a banana just so I can throw it off the boat, and I had my riggers blessed. 

 

Just hoping these tips can help everyone out. You don't need skill if you're lucky.

I tap on the rigger cables every 15 mins. Shave and a hair cut........

I always have a snack on board

[Frogger]

I give a “let’s go you beattie eyed bastards” shout after getting rods set

We come up with inventive ways to swear at the fish. This is a family forum, so I won't go into detail. And for some reason, we started saying, "Jewel crank bobo shaft" twenty years ago when all seemed lost - it always worked, 70% of the time.

I use a fish whistle.. Works every time....

We don't ever yell at the fish for not biting... we yell at our lines for not catching fish. Thrown pennies to the "fish gods" plenty of times but may have to up it to quarters if that's the going rate now...

it's funny my daughter learned at a young age, if you want geese to land you have to start picking up decoys

 

so now when we're not having any luck, she'll walk around the boat pretending to pack everything up

Dumb things I do to catch more fish according to my wife: bought a boat, riggers, poles, lures, gear, fish finder, etc.

The above doesn't necessarily equate to more fish for me though, so I'll prove her wrong [emoji1787]

Bury the net in the cuddy, get some tangles and start working on untangling, check lines for fleas and shakers.

Or go on your buddy's boat and have him jump up and yell "Here fishy, fishy"  at the top of his lungs every few minutes when you are nodding off because of hours of inaction

Lol.  Good stuff!  While ice fishing I swear I dont catch fish until I spit my chew down the hole.  Well It dont work on Lake O.  So now the wife swears its everytime her or I have to drop a bomb in the bathroom. Seems when one of us is behind a closed door a rod fires! So yesterday i spent alot of time in the crapper and even closed cuddy door so I’m behind two closed doors.  It didnt work  Maybe I’ll bring a handfull of quarters  this weekend!

Always pour some beer overboard to offer the fish gods a little sip of the first beer you open

tap rigger booms, rock boat side to side if lake is flat, and make repeated aggressive turns. trying to eat something or going to the front of the boat are also both deadly
