I was fishing near someone who was banging the bottom of his boat…NONSTOP !!!..I have heard of people doing this,and on occasion I think maybe it would cause a knee-jerk reaction …what do ya’ll think ?
murray if you don’t ever believe another thing i post.belive me it works.i thought it was stupid the first time i heard of it.you can anchor and watch the fishfinder.you will see the fish coming.
the fish were there(a lot)…me and two other boats…and not one bite !
Do you think it works as an attractant ? (there was no need to attract)…I thought they were trying to triger a strike on thier bait ?
Call me stupid, but I payed to see it!! Went out on a guide boat and he did it when the bite got slow. It worked without fail!! Damndest thing I ever saw!! Gets abit annoying tho w/o a radio to keep the rythem. By any chance was the boat a big pontoon w/ Shakespear decals on the front windshield?
murray to me it works both was.i have beenon top of fish and no bites.star beating and the bites start.it’s what works for you personally.a broken pool stick works great.the end with the rubber is the end to bang with.
and ya’ll are doing a steady bang,bang,bang,bang,bang ? …I guess I can’t “knock it 'till I try it”…although, that guy was kind of annoying(maybe that’s 'cause I drive nails for a living)
murray i don’t try to beat the bottom of the boat out.i also drive nails for a living.we have been mostly doing metal roofs for the past 2 years.i try to get a rythem going.it also works on the perch and catfish.
dang all this talk about frost and 35degree nights is got me thinking about postponing my trip to the coast this weekend and go kill some stripers.murray do frame or do finish work or what?
i don’t know.i don’t have one on my boat.when you catch fish like i do you don’t ned to listen to anyone else.just kidding i need to get one maybe the wife boss will buy it for me.i don’t even have my gps hooked up on my fish finder.
I had a sales rep take me with a guide last year on Clarks Hill and he did that and it worked, damndest thing I ever saw.
I had hear of this but never tried it and you could see the fish on the FF and when he stared tapping the bottom you could see them come up and hit the baits. All were small fish and we were fishing down lines.
He used a cue stick and had a rubber mat in the bottom of the boat and just a slow steady thump
I was the dude with phishinphan and I think it works. I use a 2x4 on the bottom of the boat. I saw a guy doing it while he was cut bait fishing. He was catching fish every five minutes. I have heard that it sounds like a school of striper feeding on shad.
who can go on thanksgiving day morning?i was think of getting a group of guys to gether and try it.it seems everyone is ready.i got room for 1 in my boat.there is one thing though no alcohol allowed in mine.sorry
o.k. i am calling bs on sharky. he said earlier that he had a rythm going for beating on the boat. i have seen him walk and he has no rythm. white boys can’t dance.
sharky. give me a call. if it is long distance just drive closer to lexington and pull over.
Looks like next time I shoot pool…I’ll be walking out of there with a half a pool stick limp …I don’t know where to buy half a stick…so…what the hey !
Sharky…I’m 50/50 on thanksgiving morning…where are you thinking of fishing ?
