it’s not a myth
My buddies boat is named: No Bananas. I’d never take a banana on his boat. On the other hand, I’ve been on trips with a whole bunch of bananas (at least 40) on the boat and had incredible catches. I remember somebody saying something like…“well that shoots the banana theory all to hell”…If that is what is in your head it probably will effect the fishing. Either way, it’s always a good excuse for getting skunked. I’ve learned to ask specifically if anybody cares about bananas when fishing on a with new people before leaving the dock. Kinda had a blowup last summer over a banana I brought…we ended up winning the tournament but the guy was still mad at me for bringing on a banana…Geeze
I bought some Banana Boat sunscreen for my first trip to the jetties. My buddy asked if I had any sunscreen he could borrow and when I handed him the Banana Boat can he shook his head NO and threw it in the trash can at the dock. Caught me off guard! Lol. He explained later that it was bad luck. I don’t even wear anything yellow anymore! I had a yellow lighter in my pocket and left it in the truck. Overboard for sure, but I’ll do anything superstitious to increase my odds. My newest thing is to throw a silver coin into the water at the landing before heading out. Kind of paying my dues to the Water Gods!..
That’s why they call it fishing, not catching…
Mind telling me the landing you use? The price of silver being what it is.

Sorry, I meant shiny LIKE silver. Not throwing the very few silver pieces I DO have in the water! But if you need a few quarters for the soda machine you can search the bottom of the leeds landing. Lol

Fished with a guy several months ago that drank a beer before clearing the jetties. Swore if he didn’t, he wouldn’t catch a thing. I have tossed out the change in my pockets and poured a beer over the side to appease the fishing gods.
