Music while you fish?

I Know this is a total newbie question...anyone listen to music? I fish by myself a lot and am just curious.

I remember always whispering when we were fishing growing up.

Maybe that was my dad's way of getting us to be quiet!

I remember Bill Dance saying one time that music won't scare fish like a loud bang like a paddle or something banging on the side of the boat will. I like to play music on my iPod and I don't see how that could hurt anything.

Yessir love listening to Gospel Holy Ghost music singing n praising JESUS!! Love it

I play tunes while fishing. Rock, country. Can't catch em no matter what, so might as well enjoy some good music.

It's a great way to wake up and sometimes even get things going during an all nighter.

The wife just bought me a radio and speakers for the boat, but I'm unsure about where to mount the speakers and I don't want to cut holes in my boat to mount them.

Never....I like the peace and quiet much better. I can get plenty of radio noise when i'm off the lake.

Pack, Pandora radio and the Eagles....Thats all Im saying!

Sometimes a little music is good but most of the time I prefer just the peace and quiet.

cant fish w/o my Ipod. That being said after the morning topwater bite dies off. I like to hear that splash when the frog gets nailed. Pop/top 40 junk makes a good beat for working that jig lol

I have been caught a time or two jammin' to my HydroWave.

I have a sonic hub, best add on to my boat, well, besides the power poles, hds 8 and 10, hydraulic jack plate....

I love loud music on the way to the lake or at the ramp, but it stops there. Mother nature is good enough for me, unless I'm on the vine, then I'm subject to whatever the wakeboarders like.

it is very nice to have, installed one on my skeeter. Don't use it all the time but sometimes its nice to have.

No music for me, enjoy the peace and quiet (as long as it lasts anyways) and work on clearing m head. Fish alone a good bit for this very reason.

No,man. FZ1,listens to Nature.

Can't help but listen when the wake boarders go by....

Other than that, I turn all the noise off and enjoy nature.

+1

None for me thanks, I use all 11 senses while hunting the elusive LMB.

I usually don't, but probably will bring the ipod next time.

prefer the sounds of nature...i wanna hear the fish fart so i know where they're hiding.

everytime,,,,,
But a little Hank ,,,or Ac/Dc or ZZ top
Can slow a worm down or crank harder .........

I tried this in my dad's boat because it came with a stereo system. It seemed like when I turned the music on it turned the fish off......

Most of the time no, but sometimes it brings back the morale.

I tore the fancy-assed Sony & Fusion speakers outta my boat when I bought it. I'm overloaded with input on a daily basis & when I get out I want to hear nothing but birds singin & reels screamin... At this point anyway. If I start spending more time on the water than in front of a computer I may want some tunes on the water. Merle, George, Metallica & Vai....

Who knows fish might wanna jam too there probably laughing at your hydro wave just joking all you heave owners

I tried listening to my ipod once but honestly I enjoy the sound of the water and breeze more.

I put the headphones in on long boat runs in tournaments to get the blood flowing a little bit and to stay in the zone!

I usually mix it up with a little bit of rock some rap and dubstep. I like it quite while i'm fishing tho.

No I like the quiet.

I listen to Pandora classic rock when I fish alone doesnt seem to bother the fish.

A little GA GA gets em goin

That's part of fishing-getting away from the RACKET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bass love rock and roll - sometimes they don't start biting until I turn it on - I listen to it all the time and it's never turned them off - I don't play it loud, but I have it on all the time except when I fish a tournament.

Rarely listen to music on the boat except for when I'm headed back to the ramp or scouting, but it's nice to be able to hear the Cowboys or Rangers game.

No music in the boat here, I have to listen for those schools busting on the surface.

Sometimes

Nope, I enjoy just being out there... listen to music all week long, don't need it on the water!

I listen when I fish alone just like someone else said helps me get through the dead times and never know I just might be the next American Idol lol I think the fish bite when I start singing just to shut me up for a few minutes lol

Sometimes I do if I am by myself.

So true about the vine. However, one guy was blasting Eddie Money's "Take me home tonight" and I would lie if I said I didn't dig it.

Sometimes I love music and sometimes I love just being out there.

I will turn on the tunes when the wife goes wIth me but that just to drown out her talking

Not in Trigger,you gona fish are sing or dance!

I've heard Lance Vick also jams Elton John . . .




Depends on my mood.. if Im just out playin around, I might jam some tunes. If im trying to focus, hone my skills, learn a new technique I may not.

Listening to Pandora Classic Rock right now...but not when I fish!!

Ultimate fishing playlist...

Nice playlist!
I like it super loud on the way and at ramp as said before.. But it stops when the tires hit the water.

Come,on,man! You ain't got no Toby Keith,you ain't got no Glen Campbell,you ain't got no Dire Straits,You ain't got no Radney Foster,You ain't got no Steve Wariner,you ain't got no Richard Marx,you ain't got no Little Texas,you ain't got no Restless Heart,and,finally,you ain't got no Jenny 8675309. You ain't got nuthin',man!

Not having 8675309 was a severe oversight on my part I beg your forgiveness.

Lol. O.K. FZ1 forgives. Just get some taste,man.

Is that number a typo? I called 867-5309 and there's no Jenny there! Just some guy named Bubba that sounded mad and wanted me to tell him what Jenny looked like!

Bass Boat + speakers = fish and ski.

Asked this question awhile back and got no responses, this thread seems to be a good spot to bring it back up.

I want to put a marine radio in my boat to listen to TX Ranger games and football come Fall. But I'd hate to spend a few hundred dollars to do it, get out on the middle of Lake Fork, and have no reception.

Any advice on how the reception is or alternatives to am/fm reception?

I do everything through my phone. MLB and NFL networks apps. Digital broadcast so reception is fine if you get phone reception.

Maybe if I get better at actually catching fish I wont feel like music. Right now there is a looooooooooooooooooooong time between fish in the boat.

I do like the crickets (locusts this time of year) and waves come sunset, can really take your mind off things.

I looked at MLB and NFL apps and they were pretty pricey, especially to get both AND not have music. Not to mention data usage.

Justin, do you have AT&T? I now get 4g pretty much all over the lake at Fork. I haven't hit a spot yet where I can't stream DFW area radio but there could still be some dead areas.

Have Verizon, reception is pretty good for phone calls. 3G though so not sure how streaming radio will do, guess I can try it out on the phone before I mess with putting the radio in.

Hate to break it to you brother, but you're gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Got a set of computer speakers under the console plug the phone or iPod in and jam out til the battery dies or the phone loses service lol

My BCB has a stereo in it, but I save the batteries for the Merc, MG and the Bird. Nature sounds are better on water, like fish feeding/jumping...

We have our radio on.

Nah, only a bit eclectic in my music tastes, Cranks up the Michael Bolton.

Finally, I thought nobody was gonna put REK - 5lb bass on there.

I caught a 13.1 lb bass this year while listening to BB king on SAT Radio, which I listen to all the time. I don't catch as many listening to heavy metal.but I think I can't get the rithym so I over work the bait,not good.

Ive always got my speakers going, some songs catch more fish
