+1 to playing the distraction card.
Look away, light one up, tie one on, put one down - doesn't matter, when you're not watching - THAT's when they bite. Works great on ice too.
I've found the calamity of "phone-fish-interrupt-us" always happens. If I answer the phone - I get a bite. If I call back to respond to a message - I get a bite (not WHILE I'm listening to the message, but as soon as I make or take a call!)
Hmm - bananas- never gave 'em much thought. I'd worry for slipping on the damned peel and taking a deep-six over the side!
I prefer Gollum's song from the Forbidden pool:
The rocks and pool
Is nice and cool
So juicy sweet
Our only wish
To catch a fish
So juicy sweet
Of course anytime I lose a fish I utter one of the following curses:
"Leave now and never come back!"
"What’s it doing? Stupid, fat Hobbit! It ruins it!"
or if they empty my hook w/o the courtesy to hook up and stick around:
"They’re thieves. They’re thieves, they’re filthy little thieves. Where is it? Where is it? They stole it from us. My Precious. Curse them, we hates them! It’s ours it is, and we wants it. "
