SFR Superstitions?

Sorta fishing-related

I can't tell you how many of my D rookie buddies have eaten a salmon fly their first time in the hatch. Pretty nasty...

Can't really think of any I have. Maybe taking 4 "last" casts for my pops. He was ranked 4th in motocross in the 70s and 4 has always been my lucky number.

Brap!!
 
not really superstitious at all for me. I like bananas. I do tend to talk to myself sometimes when musky fishing....also talk to the muskies. I suppose my offering "words of encouragement" to fish isn't limited to muskies though.
 
The Banana Thing.... It's real ..I've seen it... Some Captains forbid them. But bananas are so good for muscle cramps and blood sugar levels that I concluded that peeling them and slicing them and including them in a "fruit salad" exempts me from the "Banana Thing". I may be wrong, but I'll take my chances. But to be clear ...I would NEVER just break out a banana and start eating it on any boat in the Pacific.

My old Granny taught me to ALWAYS throw a pinch of salt over your left shoulder, if ever you were to spill some salt. I've done this countless times over decades....Every single time that I do this I remember my Granny. Superstition? Yes, but superstitions can have deeper meanings.

I do that, too.
 
If I teach my grand nephew (that is five years old) to ALWAYS throw a pinch of salt over his left shoulder...he will likely think of me every time he spills some salt. It's a superstition.. but it has a purpose.
 
Flybill the banana thing is understood... but that image. With or without the bananas is simply, um.... gnarly. I enjoyed viewing it, and I thank you for the gift from you posting it.
 
The captains I worked for when deck handing on trollers and crab boats would never head out of the harbor on a Friday. To the point of waiting until after midnight then going. It worked. I’m still alive.

Believe me, I also talk to muskies...especially after a follow. It cannot be repeated here. 😁
 
It started as a tradition back in the day, when I was much younger, and all the food I needed for a fishing trip was a gas station sandwich and some little chocolate donuts. Since then it has evolved into a superstition. Gotta have those lil chocolate donuts, it throws my mojo off otherwise.
