I dunno. Fisherfolk are a superstitious lot, as there seems to be a lot of luck involved in catching anything. It's also a very peaceful past-time for most, and a way to get away from all the noise of "civilization." Or, it might have just been you, RK.<br /><br />Personally, I like to talk, too. But I also like my quiet time. It's nice when you get to that point in your life or in a relationship or on a Sunday afternoon when you can just enjoy the silence, and not feel like you always have to be filling it with something. Or, as the Mahatma used to say to his most saintly and devoted followers, shut the f**k up.<br /><br />; )<br /><br />And please, whatever you do, don't f**k the fish! Leaves an aftertaste.<br /><br />Great blog.

Fish have ears and they are very sensitive. Some people fish with dynamite, right. It isn't the explosion that kills the fish, it's the bang that kills the fish.<br /><br />Above water talking doesn't usually reach the fish though. It's more so for other fishers who fish, not to catch fish, but for peace and tranquility. That's why I fish. Just for the peace. No bait, no worries about catching a fish. Just the peace and quiet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-32725466448865763272009-06-03T04:39:15.201-07:002009-06-03T04:39:15.201-07:00I don't see any problems with the "inquis...I don't see any problems with the "inquisitive" people.

He is not afraid to correct an adult if they are wrong (hmmm, I think he is a lot like me). I think that they are offended just because they feel so stupid about trying to snowball a little kid...the best time was when my minister grandfather attempted to tell my son that there was proof that the dinosaurs existed at the time of Noah's ark. My son, dinosaur expert, did not buy it and I just snarkily asked why that asshole Noah didn't put two dinosaurs on the ark.Sidhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997017630623707478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-66583157076122904802009-06-03T01:08:42.323-07:002009-06-03T01:08:42.323-07:00I have no idea where that phrase came from, but it...I have no idea where that phrase came from, but it is very normal to hear that in amateur fishing circles. There is a real fear that talking scares the fish. <br /><br />I was fortunate to have a Dad and Grandfather who used the time to talk to and with me when we fished. I was also fortunate to never actually catch any because I was scared to take them off the hook, but that is another story. Why anyone would put their Dad or Grandpa on the hook in the first place is a real question...Darth Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371680007744419495noreply@blogger.com
