Fish on the first cast use to be a bad omen, but now I make every cast count, proven that theory again last night, first cast fish on, second cast fish on, no more bad omen for me anyway.
So you're telling me its not a bad omen and I just suck?... That actually explains a LOT

I also have an "order of preference" of sorts with my plugs. I work through them in the same order every time... habit, omen, superstition... who knows... probably another indication of suck ing (cant combine the two words apparently...) vs bad luck

When I am thinking, I make my first cast a very short one, so as to not catch. Twice after a first cast catch last year, I went hitless all night.

I need to carry my red handkerchief and if anyone takes my photo while fishing I have bad luck for weeks.

If I sing, I catch fish. If I sing out Loud, I catch more. If I don't sing, I don't catch. Others HAVE witnessed this. So much so that when they started to sing the catch and when they refuse to they don't

Fish are partial to Pink Floyd & DMB. Springsteen, nossomuch
