The two that I remember from growing up in Hawaii were:
1. Never take bananas on a fishing trip.
2. Never say specifically where or when you were going fishing.

My lucky item is a quarter stick of TNT works every time!!! Mahahaha JK.
I need to get back into fishing but I know no places around Austin to go. I love to bank fish, or from a boat. I am retired Coast Guard and have experience around water, LOL to say the least! I love to fish for crappie bass cats and most anything that swims.

Never, EVER tell me good luck. My wife and kids always tell me "bad luck" when I walk out the door.
Never bring a landing net. Every time I bring one, I get skunked.

I agree with the "dad" one, he always ends up using swivels because he is to lazy to tie a knot...and uses old lures from the 1950-1960 era with the paint chipped and looking horrible. kicked my a** on the last two trips with 50 year old tackle!

I have my wife punch me in the junk before I walk out the door. It can only get better from there. Even if I don't win, still better than how the morning started.
j/k
I re-tie all my tackle. Make sure my equipment is in tip top shape. I repack my tackle. I set out the clothes I'm going to wear and I pickcertain colors depending on the weather. I always wear a certain hat. If I'm just going fishing... I throw everything in the bed of my truck and wave goodbye as I'm pulling out of the driveway.

My mother always said if the cows are laying down the fish aren't biting. Well after a couple times, possibly coincidence, of this being true I now always glance at cattle as I"m on my way to the lake.

My dad used to take me up to the mountains in CO a few times each summer to go fishin for trout, and along our route there was a tunnel... I would beg him to honk a bunch of times going through the tunnel, because he told me we would catch a fish for each honk...

the cooler/igloo thing has got to be one of the worse omen ever... lower expectation, whether if it's having your other half smash your junk or what ever floats your boat will indeed make your day seem like it can only improve
