Music While You Fish? 2025

.dsaavedra. reply :

hey guys, i was just curious, how many of you listen to an ipod or radio or any other kind of music while you fish?

i personally never have, i would think that i'd be more concentrated on fishing without music, but i have never tried fishing with music.

islandbass reply :

I choose not to for the same reasons as you. Besides, taking in nature' music is better. But in the car, on the way to and home, that's a different story.

Masshole Mike reply :

i'm always rockin an ipod when i fish by myself.

yup, i always have some metallica on for the drive

im sure if i was fishing by my self i would be more likely to listen to my ipod, but i probably still wouldnt because i'd need to concentrate on my fishing.

I'm going to guess that at least 50% of the membership here has no idea what an 8 track is. ;D

You betcha ! Wait, I think I saw one in Le Louvres Museum once ;D !

As for music while I fish .... hum never ! I just don't want to miss that big topwater bite in my back and I want to be able to hear it and turn around

Grey Wolf reply :

Nope!!!!!!!!!!!! It's my back to nature time.

The Rooster reply :

If I'm in the boat bass fishing then I'd never do it. On the bank using bait for bass, or catfish, or whatever I might do that, or if I'm at a family gathering and fishing at the same time. So I voted sometimes. But really it's mostly never cause I do far more bass fishing from my boat than anything else.

FishinDaddy reply :

I'll bet 25% have never even seen vinyl. ;D

slomoe reply :

Sometimes, but I only have one earbud in and I keep it low.

Cujo reply :

Tried it before, but just rather enjoy the sounds of nature.

I was fortunately at the right age that I got to see 8 tracks and definitely had many vinyls, but was glad to see that era go. ;D

Jig Man reply :

No music for me. I don't even want the guy in the back to talk.

Bankbeater reply :

I like to listen for them when they jump.

ba7ss3in reply :

Not when I'm bassfishing but catfishing and saltwater fishing, I will.

fishizzle reply :

My cassette player sunk or shall I call it a Boom Box.

Metallica Black Rocks--Unforgiven

Pegleg reply :

I never have music in the boat. I don't even play the radio in the car or truck unless its time for the news. I do carry a little portable radio in the summer and its switched to AM so I can hear the crackle of lightning. My boat is very slow so the radio is my early warning for thunder storms.

drkilldrmz reply :

I have a radio in the boat for sox games. If im stream fishing, i carry a portable for the tent later in the day.

RoLo reply :

I've been highly interested (obsessed) in wildlife since around the age of 7 or 8.

Today I can identify close to 100% of the birds I hear based on their song or note.

Toting artificial din into the great outdoors would only make me feel lonely and disjointed.

I've spent years fishing on the Atlantic Ocean and never once even thought about music. Sorry Steve Tyler, I'd rather listen to Franklin gulls ;D

The unmistakable splash of a feeding bass can be heard a looong distance,

but not if natural sounds are overwhelmed by manmade noise

Tin reply :

Disturbed, Steve Miller, Skynyrd, it's all good. I'll even take some rap.

Zel... reply :

I've always been a little partial to Ride of the Valkyries blaring out the Fis'n'Ski's CD player, screaming down the lake during duck season, dodging buckshot.

HesterIsGod reply :

Nope, never listen to music.

BassinBoy reply :

Not normally but a good song or two before for can excite me for a good day.

Captain Cali reply :

Never.

I need to hear my surroundings. I mostly bank fish at night in areas known for mountain lions. They are sneaky enough as it is so I need every advantage I can get.

Plus, IMO, music would take away from the peacefulness of the outdoors.

Gotta love Aerosmith

guitarkid reply :

I am 19 and have heard of 8 tracks , and vinyls. I have also touched some.

now about the music.

Bank fishing-sometimes depends if I remember

Boat (if i am on one) I think I would not want any music.

Quinn reply :

I selected some times, but when I do, it's not music, it's (man I'mgonna get basted for this) talk radio.

Micro reply :

Where I fish, there are no highways nearby. There's an occassional plane. But otherwise, it's just the sound of nature. I don't get to hear just that enough to drown it out with music.

It sucks in the summer you cant hear the nature at all with a million jet skis flying by. Thats the only time I listen to music while fishing.

Sox and Aerosmith, sure you were not born in New England?

Cigarlover 1 reply :

I love to listen to music to relax but when I'm out on a lake Mother Nature wins out over music. I can listen to music when I get back home.

jrhennecke reply :

Never have. I can listen to music all week. When on the water I just want to relax and fish.

ZEN BASSIN reply :

Going to and from the lake in the truck (Free bird). Once on the lake its all zen... Game on !!

FishinGirl reply :

No music for me.. Nature is my music...
