Superstitions before you fish....................

I never want to catch a fish on the first cast- so I throw away from where I think fish are and reel the bait in quickly. I remind my fishing buddies to do the same.

I believe the first cast hex, also. A few years ago I fished a small club where a limit will get you in the money, and a 4+ kicker will get you big fish. My partner and myself had found a honey-hole and sure enough he caught one on the first cast. We finished the day with a nice limit with a 4 pounder. He rode me all the way back about the first cast fish and luck. Needless to say we finished out of the money and got beat for big fish by a nice 5 pounder.
