Who listens to the radio...

Post by April Fool » Wed Feb 20, 2019 5:14 pm

...when fishing? I do and I am not talking about listening through headphones. Fishing a creek now with my bait sitting about 5 metres away and at a depth of about 2 metres. I guess the fishies can hear it and I would be better off without it.

Edit...just found out something when posting this. Big carp do not mind talk back radio! My next question, said big carp found freedom in snags cos dumb ar5e me let it run for a couple seconds whilst submitting first post so...has anyone lost fish whilst wasting time online?

The reason fish don't wear glasses is because the don't have ears to hold them on, ;-) I use the radio at time and have caught fish, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

I love the radio on while fishing.I fished off the rocks at cape Bridgewater this year and took the radio because I didn’t want to miss the Boxing Day test.Caught some nice fish too.

Nope. One of my greatest joys, I dont mind fishing with others at all, is fishing alone and not hearing anything apart from the noises of nature. I can happily fish for hours like that. Love it.

No music for me but have lost a fish to mucking around on my phone, checking some messages and didn't notice that a fish had picked up my plastic and moved off with it. went to hop again and there was a fish there and my line was rubbing on something straightaway.
Proof below skip to 7 minutes 36, I don't take it too well either
