LOL You can bet I stay away from bananas the day of fishing. I know it sounds crazy but you will never see Ole CP with a banana on a day of fishing. LOL pull one out when I am fishing and I will try and get as far away's from you as possible. I don't know what it is but Bananas and fishing just don't mix. I love to eat them any other time...Just not when fishing.

Sounds like a joke, but I know you are not kidding. My grandfather was the same way about bananas. He wouldnt even let banana bread or banana boat sunscreen into the boat. Goes way back to before cargo ships had weight restrictions. They would overload the boats and sink, leaving nothing but a bunch of floating bananas! They also carried poisonous spiders and snakes that would take over the ships.

Well said Chris...Bananas are nothing to be messed with when fishing.

I had wondered why everyone was so hard on banana's now I remember hearing about the issue with banana's before.

I believe this to be true in my situations as well!

How to rid yourself from Bad Banana Mo'Jo...I always carry a small packet of salt with me just in case an unknowing fishing buddy brings a banana on the boat or I come in contact with a banana while fishing some how. This is what you do....First off Don't Panic!!! Take the offending Banana and throw that sucker as far away from the boat as possible. If there is another boat nearby or another fisherman you don't really like throw it towards his boat...This will help alleviate some of the bad luck you incurred from coming in contact with the Banana. Next get your salt out and you and your fishing buddy if applicable put some salt in the palm of your hand and toss it over your shoulder, this should rid you and your buddy of any bad Banana luck. (Note this works on any bad luck while fishing...If your having a bad day on the water Try this...(Also note that some of you may need a whole can of salt...so take plenty if you feel you may be like RCC). Next... If you come in contact with a Banana while fishing and you don't have salt. Make sure you and you buddy stand up and spin around at least 3-5 times and do a Indian chat. This will get about 75% of the bad Mojo off you very quickly (not as effective as salt but...Hey!!!if it's all you got what do you have to loose. Also here again if you feel like you may be like RCC or BuckRub you may want to do the whole 5 spins and get louder with your chants. GOOD LUCK FISHING EVERYBODY...:biggrin

All of you are bananas. :biggrin

How do you feel about taking chickens out in the boat with you? I know you like butterflies. I have been thinking it might be lucky to take a chicken fishing. DP
