THE CRAZY HABITS ANGLERS CAN’T KICK BY BEN DUCHESNEY
PRE-FISH RITUALS
Grab your lucky fishing hat, rub your rabbit’s foot, knock on wood or listen to your favorite song, Kayak Angler readers share their pre-fish rituals:
I gather my gear and then watch the water for five minutes before launching; I start fishing with my eyes before I even hit the water. Benjamin Adrien, Corpus Christi, Texas
I rub garlic on the hands, don’t forget the garlic. Matthew W. Senecal, Brunswick, Maine
Before we touch a boat or fishing gear, we all must wash our hands in a mulch pile. The only smell fish will taste is tree bark. It works. Michael Bercovitz, Stoughton, Massachusetts
Pour some whiskey to the river goddess. We have figured out that if we don’t, she takes something of ours—a hat, a boot or a pocket knife. Lora Hilton, Mansfield, Connecticut
Get the baby wipes and find some bushes. Chad Pantel, Stuart, Florida
Kayak, seat, paddle, poles; kayak, seat, paddle, poles…Repeat until you get to river. Kiel Redmond, Nashville, Tennessee
I always have a fire the night before opening day of trout season and before most planned trips. I clean my house, workshop, yard and burn all the trash (papers, cardboard, etc) that I can. I don’t know if it’s the smell of the smoke on my hands when I handle bait or if it’s just in my head, but I swear I have much better luck after having a fire. Matt Sayer, Coventry, Rhode Island
I usually have to bare witness to my husband applying sunscreen to his butt crack. That should count for something. Poutine La Masoneaux, Quad Cities, Illinois
