What have been your experience of listening to the radio while fishing? I have never played the radio while fishing, but if my wife gets to where she can fish again, she will want tunes.
I have a tin boat so I figure the vibrations would be more than a glass one, but not sure if it will bother the fish.
I would rather not have music while fishing...prefer the sounds of nature.
When I get in the mood we sometimes listen to music while trolling. Nothing louder than what an iPhone will output. It can make those hotter out in the middle of the lake even more relaxing at times. Just my 2 cents.
X2! However to each his own.Quote:

XXX3 for me! I am there to enjoy the day, and for me it's to listen to the outdoors regardless of the time of the year.Quote:

I play Pandora (Van Halen Radio) through my blue tooth speakers all the time. I don't get it very loud and the fish don't seem to mind. I've played music in a tin boat for years.
I'm at the lake to fish, the music is the birds talking and water hitting the boat. Have been annoyed several times by rap noise "I dont consider gangsta-rap music" from other boats and shore fisherman.
It is very annoying....and disrespectful of others who came to enjoy the outdoors..what's the word..It OFFENDS me...
I clean up trash at the boat ramps and docks left by others. It may just be a beverage container or chicken liver tubs etc, and only takes a minute or 2 to clean up. I dont want to see garbage at the lake.
No music for me on the lake, I very rarely listen to it while driving. I like quiet myself, or good conversation. And (c)rap ain't music, bunch of no talent hacks with IQ's lower then their pant size spitting out X rated nursery rhymes, no thanks..
I rarely have anything but mother nature and conversations in the boat.
Last summer my wife and I were on KY lake, near the west shore when we started hearing music. Even though I have no idea who the artist was, I could make out every word so that left rap and AC/DC out. We finally figured out it was coming from a pontoon boat not far from the east bank, almost a mile away. Those folks on that pontoon had to have blood coming from their ears from music that loud.
That's what they said about me back in the 60's when I was listening to Dylan, the Stones, and Jefferson Airplane.
I use Bluetooth earbuds while I'm fishing. No cords to get in my way. I enjoy listening to music while I'm out there by myself. I'd rather hear that it than somebody talking on cell phone. Good gracious, everybody got to be on a phone now days. Now when I get close to someone I'll take one earbud out so if they want to speak to me I can hear them so they won't think l'm ignoring them. Use them on my IPhone or iPod. Best to have them hooked up to power cord from your 12v so if you do need to use your phone you won't have drained your phone battery. Just me.
I like music at times. Doesn't affect the fish. Johnny Cash to Rick James and lots in between.
ScottV like to listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd.....and he catches lots of fish :biggrin
crappie seem to love the eagles turned up where everyone on the lake can hear them :Rofl
I don't listen to music in the boat .... but think it's OK if others do as long as they are considerate of others.
I really dislike those who blast music LOUD when I'm outdoors....whether it's camping, fishing, etc. It's just plain rude to play loud music outside. I think the headphones would be the best idea.
One time at Kentucky lake .... I was tent camping and fishing. An extremely rowdy group came in and at 3 am they were still blasting music as loud as their boomer could go. I had enough and picked up my hatchet and went over there ..... lucky for me they were all passed out, I would have probably gotten killed. I picked up the radio and tossed it in the lake. It was quiet the next night. They must have only brought one.
Loud generators at a campsite should be outlawed. Campers had a bus and parked where there was no electric hookup by choice, no problem for them, they had a generator that was louder than a push mower.
I have never used the radio in my boat when I was fishing. I only have used it when my wife is with me and we are just joy riding. There won't be any rap on my radio. If I had XM, it would be Fox News.
I don't usually like music while I am fishing but it doesn't bother me if someone is playing music as long they are not blasting it where you can hear it from 2 miles away. Most of the time fishermen are not the one doing it. It's the ski boats.

Most campgrounds prohibit generators, except in certain areas...actually all of us should B considerate of others using the same resources we do...
I have found that crappie seem to enjoy the blues from time to time. I don't do it often, but I sometimes get an itch that only BB or Clapton can scratch, haha! As long as it is played appropriately, I have no issue with it. If I hear you before I see you, well now we have an issue.

Also had an occasion were all I could pick up was a rap station and the fishing was slow so I cranked it up and the fish started biting. LOL, I guess the vibration startled them and they suddenly got their groove on.
I'm with Tracker123.....good blues always helps any situation, regardless. If you're worried bout others hearing it, buy her some 'buds' for Christmas and tell her to get jiggy with her phone.
I would sure hate to have to listen to that crap to get the fish to bite, but I guess I would if that is what it takes.
Seldom listen to music. But when I do, I use earbuds plugged into my phone. As someone mentioned earlier, I prefer enjoying the music of the great outdoors.
I had rather bass fish than listen to that cripity crap!![emoji12]Quote:
