spitting in the water in front of you.........

Saying, "I have a good feeling about tonight"

Bringing the digital camera with me.... :fishslap:
Guaranteed skunk!

brushing my teeth and taking a shower before fishing will ALWAYS gaurantee a skunkin'

Saying the word "dniW" (backwards)

The thing that will almost gaurantee a fish is going on an impromptu trip.

Seeing a shooting star within minutes of your first cast...

Couldn't agree more...

Last time someone snuck bananas on one of our charter boats all sorts of electronics started going overboard within a day. 1 cell phone and then 2 brand new $500 digital cameras.

Must be a Portsmouth thing.Everytime I tell someone I got into fish its a ghost town the next visit.

Swearing at the fish.
Saying stuff like, "C'mon you "blinkity-blinks" bite!"
I've asked people not to swear at the fish around me. I say it kind of jokingingly, but I won't fish with someone who does it all the time. I try to not even think it.

JPowers 11-14-2005 08:34 AM

Buying an insulated fish bag measuring 60"x20" ( 120# fish capacity) will guarantee you won't land a 40#er for more than a year.

that must have been what happened just before i hit the beach yesterday. someone, maybe the guy that was leaving just as i arrived, must have been swearing up a storm at them because they were totally non cooperative the rest of the night. they were so mad they had the water kicked up big time.... :hs:

Always makes me go out... then get skunked.

I actually have a lucky hat. Seems like I always do better when I wear it.

The Dad Fisherman 11-14-2005 10:15 AM

Actually the Black Cat thing.

on 3 seperate times as I was driving to a place to fish, a black cat ran accross the street in front of the car and all 3 times I got nada....except for a bunch of snags and lost gear.

I also know that If I forget my pliers I WILL catch bluefish...that happened twice this year.

tattoobob 11-14-2005 07:27 PM

I usually think the Black cat thing is good luck.
But the reason I posted this is ever sense before I left for Montauk I have been having some serious bad luck and not just catching fish like falling, loosing my bait to a rouge wave, losing a favorite plug which is bound to happen just happened 3 time to the same type/color. I must have pissed off the fish gods some how I just can't think of what I did. anyone else gone thru boughs of bad luck?
