Well my one and only superstition has to do with bananas! I have fished the ocean and fresh water and it didnt matter what water i was fishing bananas gave me and my family bad luck fishing! One time me and the mrs.ocean went yellowtail fishing in islamorada and everyone around us was catching tails left and right!We were between everyone so we did have a great spot on the boat.The mate couldnt figure out why we werent catching any fish then he saw my wife getting ready to eat a banana and he freaked out!H emade us throw the bananas away !But as soon as the mrs threw them overboard we got bites the rest of the afternoon![sly] That was the weirdest thing i have experienced.Another time i was out in the ocean and we were into a scholl of tuna and low and behold the "chiquita "banana freighter made its way by us and bam the fishing just died! So we moved and got into kingfish .My daughter had the same experience at e-lake.All of us got into steady fishing and she couldnt buy a bite she tried everyones rod and nothing.I told her she needed to get rid of her banana she brought and when she did she caught her limit.
