Do you believe that bananas on a boat are bad luck or is it just superstition?

Before I bring up this one type of fish, let me note that all fish have the same dietary requirements when it comes to the basic building blocks- Amino Acids, Proteins, Minerals, Vitamins.
Pretty much all fish behave the same in a captive environment, say you have a Bass in a tank that spooks to the other side from the scent of copper (highly poisonous to aquatic life, and just an example), then you can assume a Trout or a Plecostamus will do the same thing, even in the wild.
With these two things said, I will say people use Bananas succesfully in Carp baits, fish need Potassium too, all life is practically the same as far as requirements, some life just needs less or more of a certain thing.

OnTheFly; \ Well ask jimmy [I said:(Ninja the trout fisherman). [/I]I stuck a banana in the trunk of his car about a year ago and he just removed it this last weekend!
not for steelhead. chinook.markasd said:I voted superstition simply cause while eating a banana in one hand, and fighting steelhead with the other numerous times. I'll eat a banana while fishing and not even think of it...
Superstition

beaverfan said:Um trust me "wild" trout and steelhead are not afraid of copper. I'd ask the dead fish in my freezer but I can't because it's DEAD!

I call your Plecostamus, and raise you a crotchedly old pissed off geezer, to the next person who brings a rotten banana on my boat.:shock:

UM, TRUST ME, I never said they were afraid of copper dude. It is fact that Copper is very poisonous to aquatic life, it is also used in aquaria in miniscule amounts to treat algae breakouts.
I've purged myself of bananas Corbett. I haven't eaten one and I got rid of the ones in the house upon arrival last Sunday. In fact, I'll not even say the word until after this Sunday is over.CoTransplant said:As I said on the boat that day, I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious. And all I have to say is DON'T BRING A BANANA ANYWHERE NEAR ANY BOAT I'M ON. It was a historical day, as that particular vessel had never had a sturgeon trip without a bite. I had to tell people I went boating because I don't think what we did qualifies as fishing...
