Music to fish by
To set the scene: I'm wading the weedbeds out front on our 10 mile long lake. There are a few guys out fishing in boats, but no one in sight. The blackbirds are singing, ducks are everywhere (this is a federal wildlife refuge) and it is a wonderful afternoon with puffy cumulus cloudys floating in a clear blue sky. It is great to be out.
Then... boom! boom! boom! the beat and chant of rap music (?) echoes across the lake. I finally see a boat moving slowly across the lake about 2 miles away. I know sound carries well across water, but think of the volume to carry that far. It went on until the boat turned a corner and disappeared.
How many of you guys have CD or MP3 (or whatever they are) players in your boat? If you do, you might think of some of the other fishermen who are out on the lake for the peace and pleasure of a day on the water. Old geezers get grouchy.

I agree!!! If I wanted to hear that kind of music (or anyother kind) I would put it on MY radio!

Yeah theres a time and a place.
Re: Music to fish by
I have radio in the boat. But the only time I run it is on the Weather channels. I dont want to hear anyones music when I am on the water or on the road.
If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.

Re: Music to fish by
I play some music when Im relaxing , but never to high on the volume.
Re: Music to fish by
I AGREE!! and i enjoy rap music but not when i am out on the water. the water is no place for a stereo, nature has its own music, the birds, the wind in the trees, the waves hitting the shore, fish jumping..man why am i still at work!!!!TOPWATER wrote:Yeah theres a time and a place.
Re: Music to fish by
If I were to fish with music, it would be The best of the Doobie Brothers!!!
Something about that CD gets me thinking about fishing.

Walleye
Walleye
(Lyrics by Richard A Lewis & Larry Hayes; Tune "Rawhide" by Dmitri Tiompkin.)
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin'. Walleye!
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Lakes and streams are swollen,
Fingers nearly frozen. Walleye!
Through wind and rainy weather,
We're in this boat together,
Six packs, lures, and leeches by our side.
I've been drowning shiners,
Searching with depth finders,
Tryin' to get a big one on the line.
(Chorus:) Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!
Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
We'll find out where they're schoolin'. Walleye!
My heart is contemplatin'
A big fish that's a-waitin',
Waitin' at the end of my line.
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just set the hook and land 'em.
Soon we'll be listenin' to 'em fry.
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!
(Lead guitar solo)
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin'. Walleye!

That's not too bad. I can just picture Clint Eastwood out there trolling for walleye and cracking his spinning rod with a leach on the end of his line.

My boat has Sirius, 10 disk cd changer, mp3/4 player, etc.. I play it low and it helps me to relax.
I'm an old geezer that likes his music just about as much as fishing
