Thread: Radios & Fishing

I feel exactly the same way! All I want to hear is nature.

I figger if I hear another Boats Radio/boom box its too loud...same with Vehicles...

I don't even want any noise in my boat, a squeaking boat seat or someone slamming a cooler lid shut.

I love to fish but have a full time job. I usually only get to fish 3 days a month. I also love college football. I have on rare occasion tuned into my football game or a college ws game while on the water as my only time for fishing was at the same time as a game. I think it’s about like crowding on spots. There is a level of etiquette and goodwill sportsmanship required

Wireless headphones and ear buds. they can listen until thier hearts are content. Without anyone else having to hear a sound

Well, I'll be the odd guy out here and say that he should be able to enjoy his outdoor experience the way he wants to, also. I do think it is rude to have it up so loud that people a half a lake away can hear it too, but if he wants some music (or a sporting event, whatever) playing quietly in his boat, he should be entitled. Provided it is played at an appropriate level, for his boat alone to enjoy, I say go for it.

With that said, MY preference is for solitude and hearing nothing but Nature, too!

I actually kept a radio / CD player on my boat most of the time stored up front and occasionally I found myself wanting to hear some bluegrass or gospel music and or to listen to a Nascar race if it was a track that I cared anything about or a football game that cared anything about... but for the most part... I concur with most everyone else in being perfectly at peace listening to the sounds of nature. I too share in the hatred of summertime watercraft bringing all of the noises of modern civilization to the lakes, which is why I do very little fishing in the heat of summer.

To each their own. I prefer peace and quiet myself. Especially spring when all the birds are courting and carrying on. Also listen for fish activity. What I don't understand is guys spending 50 grand + for a technical poking skiff and bragging about stealth and no hull slap and then showing off the sound system he put in boat for a couple grand.
