Drives me up the wall...

"and the fish dont seem to mind a bit "

When I see this statement …it does …drive me crazy…when did anyone ever talk to a fish or know if they [the fisherman] could have been more successful doing something else :roll: :roll: :roll:

Well at least we all now know how to drive you crazy…

…we’ll just make sure to add, “and the fish don’t seem to mind a bit” to every post!

:wink:

I talk to fish all the time and even though they mostly ignore me, they don’t seem to mind a bit

This is an epidemic, web-wide so let me clarify. LOSE= something not found.
LOOSE= something not tight.
Whew!!! That feels better.
When i asked the salmon this question this morning only one showed irritation and the rest didn’t seem to mind one bit :wink:

I cannot speak for others but … I talk to fish all the time while fishing.
Do they answer back?

Here is where I would like to exercise my right as provided in the 5th amendment to the Constitution on the ground that such answer would most likely be self incriminating?.
:roll:

RW here,

You know folks, I don’t mind this thread a bit.

I like green chili burritos. Sometimes, it’s obvious by their actions, the fish do mind. :shock: Well, keeps me warm on those cold days on the water. :shock: :lol: :lol:

I told that BIG ol fish to bite my fly, but just like a little kid,
The fish don’t seen to MIND at bit (sorry, a little play with the sentence) :twisted:

Ducksterman,
In your HONOR, because your a fellow Oregonian, I have not responded until now.

Doug…I like what they’re doing :lol:

especially Bamboozle’s …“tough love”…I’m thinking of making it part of my signature…maybe it will help me cope :roll: :wink:

Bamboozle’s Reverse Therapy!
Doug :smiley:

I talk to fish all the time. And they, and the voices in my head, don’t seem to mind a bit.

Next time I start to write this, I will change it to: “…and my catch rate did not significantly drop over previous levels…”
Would that be better?

Only if you don’t want to improve :wink:

ducksterman,

I do not know if what I do is called “talking to fish”. I think it would fit more to “calling fish”, because when I am having problems getting a “take”, I will call out loud the following phrase and it seems to work most of the time: “Here fishie, fishie”

As far as “drive you crazy”, someone told me that would a very short drive! :twisted:

My call was similiar, Here Fishy! Fishy!<><
When we would finally find the fish in a res. or lake, it was called “THE ZONE”
Doug :smiley:

Nicely pun!

Neither I, nor the fish, mind a bit.

When I miss strikes, I don’t mind a bite…
