Pre fishing Rituals

What's your pre fishing rituals?
Quote your favorite verse?
Do you tie your favorite knot?
Do your spray or put on an additive?
Do you plan your colors? Bait? Head size? Line?
Do you wipe your favorite rod?
Do you remember what your dad or grandpa or other mentor or favorite fisher man said or done?

Ask for the wind not to blow today

Ice for the beer.

I always, always, try to wake up.

Many times I'm successful.

I do remember my uncle saying "You gotta spit on your bait"...........

I check my batteries
And look at all of my stuff.
Then I remeber how they used to bite;
When I was still dipping snuff.

Yep, I hate to admit it but I get a fresh chew and I start to catch some fish. Bad habit, I know.

Hope like crazy that I have to use the bathroom before I go. After that maybe a Dr pepper and Hostess cupcakes for the ride.

Usually have to take a leak as soon as I get hands wet ! :yikes:Rofl

I always stop about halfway to the lake to make sure I plugged the lights in.

Always been one that pulls up, drops the TM, and start fishing. So I get to the ramp and pull off to the side and get everything ready. Put my net in the holder, put my tackle box on the deck, put in seat polls, open the live well, etc. After I park te truck and get in the boat I hit the live well and start filling it on the way to my spot and turn on my radio. This gets me pumped to put some slabs in the boat!

I love it!

I usually check the trailer tongue latch right after I start driving down the road. Like to double check that important step.

You sure that's not Visa Versa? You get you hands wet when you take a leak? :-)

What's your pre fishing rituals? Listen to the song The Ride by david Allen Coe. Get everything ready the night before.

Night before is make color selection and tie on jigs given I have time, and usually set the alarm about 15min earlier than planned cause seems something always puts you behind. Morning of is a double check of the boat plug before I sink the boat, literally!

I never fill the live well or open the lid on it before I catch a fish.

Also, I don't allow myself to eat or drink before I catch fish. That way I concentrate on the fish.
