Many of us have fishing superstitions and rituals prior to tournaments or just going out fishing. Whats yours?

The night before a tournament, I put junk lures on my rods.
I say a prayer to do my best, safety for all, and to judge fairly.
The day of a tournament I try to get there early for some more prayer and game plan strategy

I've gotten back into the ritual of spraying or rubbing some scent on the lure before I cast it out and after every time I touch the lure.

I don't really have any superstitions. I'm still trying to find something. I thought I found it when I got my first tournament win. But I tried it last weekend and it didn't work lol

Never take a stringer or anything else to keep fish in. And never, ever take very much bait. And if you really want to catch a ton of fish, forget the beer.
