Bananas

Been getting skunked lately, so added a banana to the cooler for some reverse psychology.

Found the sheepshead up the river and the trout/redfish closer to the mouth.

My son landed the red . . . I love it when he out-fishes me!

Good job, but I thought bananas were bad luck! Maybe I need to carry some on my next trip. :wink:

What, no lemons? Nice day on the water. But I agree with Gulf Coast--that reverse psych can only last so long before the bananas/bad juju catches up to you. :wink:

Totally agree . . . . Maybe it was just enough to hit the “reset” button. At least it gave me a chance to teach my son about the bananas on boats superstition.

If I did it again, I’d probably get barbed by a catfish, fall overboard, take out my lower unit on a rock on the way back, then realize my SeaTow has expired!

Yep, no more bananas.

Baseball players do crazy stuff to get out of a hitting slump. Jason Giambi has a famous gold thong that different players would borrow and wear to get out of a slump. I would wear a borrowed gold thong before I’d have the onions to take a banana. I almost kicked someone off my boat that had eaten a banana for breakfast. I didn’t want it on the boat, in his stomach or in the peel

Just imagine how many more fish y’all would have caught if you left the banana at the dock.

I didn't realize that the whole bananas being bad luck was an actual thing until I googled it. I almost always pack a banana with my lunch when I go fishing.

I was on a boat that we were slaying the Redfish, then someone brought up the banana thing. The captain pulled out a banana from the cooler and we were shocked at, despite our good fishing, there was a banana on board. The captain said he did not believe in the superstition.
Some time later we decided to try out the reverse luck strategy and we promptly ran out of gas half way through our trip. That motor never consumed that much fuel, before or since.

Glad to see someone beat the banana curse. I can't seem to do that so bananas are strictly forbidden on my boat and if you ignore the sign, be prepared to swim. :smt009
