does loud music on the ice affect fishing?

[mrfish1991]

i was out fishing with my buddy and it was pretty slow...he cranked some country cant remember what the name was but its "u and me go fishin in the dark" and not 10 seconds after those words were said i started hooking up with some crappies...idk

I guess fishersofmen is a Repulican then huh? Or maybe he meant he is listening to "Tom Sawyer" by Rush??

I'm guessing he meant the rock band...

I listen to rush limbugh (SP) and jason lewis in my truck when I am fishing and i don't think that will mess this the fish.

I'm Sorry.

I think so too.If the fish are ready to eat they seem to block most other affects,stimuli around them and it's chomp time!BTW,a little Stevie Ray or possibly Robin Trower never hurts either!c63

This is a great subject. I have no doubt that some "noises" spook fish. I have also no doubt that some "vibrations" (that is all that sound is) attract fish. Just look at all the lures these days that vibrate.

I have fished walleye over 6-9' of water with rock and roll playing relatively loud (nobody around to bother) and caught one after another. These fish just have to be aware of the noise (vibration). When the boat is out of the water the hull vibrates extremely even with the volume relatively low.

Earlier this winter I was fishing crappies. They were quite slow. Due to the fact that my wheeler was starting hard and it was below zero out I started it up to keep it warm. Within minutes my flasher lit up and I started catching fish. In a bit I shut off my wheeler. Within minutes my flasher went blank and it stayed that way. I thought it was just coincidence. Half hour later I started it again. Within minutes the flasher was lit up again. I caught the remainder of my limit. I shut off the machine while I packed up. Again the flasher went blank within minutes. I haven't been able to replicate it due to the fact I started driving my truck. I really believe there was something to that wheeler idling on the ice.

Not the rock band grumpy, Limbough. Lol. Just replying to an erlier post. And yes, even fish can appreciate good conservatism.

Rap and country definitely scare the fish---and some fisherman. I heard cigar smoke is a deterrant, too.

Big-Al- I have also no doubt that some "vibrations" (that is all that sound is) attract fish. Just look at all the lures these days that vibrate.

I have seen on commercials and in magazines where they actually make electronics that you can load sounds on that attract fish. They must study what sounds bait and other things make and study what affect it has on different species of fish. I thought it was kind of interesting.

I did notice a wave of perch following a Sno Bear last week. It happened more than once that day.

Some people will use any excuse as to why the fish aren't biting..

It can't be my fault, it has to be the loud music playing near by.

[Bottle Fish]

Depends on what you are listening to.

[northernsportman]

depends on the lake, some lakes produce more with music than others.

if its super loud it might do sometihng to the fish..
