Banana Superstitions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

danjor · 05-13-2013, 07:50 AM

Last time I took my dad fishing we took a overnight trip out of San Diego, for the previous 2 weeks was good weather and limits of tuna, the day we went he took a banana and there was crazy high seas and only a couple tuna caught, one of which was mine and he caught nothing, the next day the boat limits again when were not on it.... One of the lobster trips this year when I took me cousin out he took a banana not knowing better and all he pulled up the whole night was a f'in huge pissed off eel that was tangled in the net.... I don't believe in superstitions but that's pretty fishy to me so no bananas on my boat trips or yaks lol

When working on sportfishers Ive watched Ron Baker take many bananas and hurl them over the side of the boat without the customer knowing what was even going on.

Lots of things can happen on the ocean so I am going to play it safe and chuck banannas with Capt Ron. He even had a No Banannas sign made and hung on the Point Loma.

I've heard that he would come grab it right out of the hands of the person with the Banana. The customer's eyes are all, "What the Heck?" Ron did not take any chances with that stuff.

What I have read is that back in the pirate days, the pirate ships could trace and attack the passenger ships which have thrown out banana peels.

The current would carry the banana peels and the peels would act as bread crumbs leading the pirates to the civilian ships.>>

The bug theory makes sense too.>>
