i haven't found a good one yet.. need to catch something good. and then figure out what i did different.

No swearing at the fish. No use of foul language when discussing fish.
"No c'mon you blankety blank fish, hit!" I've asked people not to swear at the fish and I've told them that I won't fish with them if they continue. Not kidding.

It's ok to use foul language when talking about people though - otherwise the language is not descriptive and it doesn't ring true.

NO BANNANAS on the boat
NO BANNANAS at the Derby House
NO BANNANAS in the car when fishing

NO BANNANAS Ever in the area of fishing...no Bannana Cookies, Bannana nut muffins...nothing...NO BANNANAS

Ask Raider Ronnie about the day we had a 6 person charter that lost twelve shots of wire over four hours while every other boat was slamming the fish around Race Point....then...the dreaded Bananna came out...trip is over...into P-Town Harbor we go...get the bannanas off the boat...clients are told to go to lunch and be back in an hour...Ronnie and I get a taxi to Nelson's...new spool ofwire...meet the clients...back to Race Point...90 minutes later...6 clients with 2 fish over 20lbs each...time to go home

then there was the time Captain Alan and I took two other friends including my GF out east chasing footballs...average catch per boat that day was 6 or 8 fish and we only landed two and raised one more...on the way in we were eating some cookies and talking about what the hell went wrong...then I ask what kind of cookies we were eating as they had an unusual taste...that's right...DAMN BANNANAS

Many Many stories like this...so my point is....NO BANNANAS

I don't know if it would be considered supersticious or religious, but I always belt out a few Hail Marys on the way to fish.
