As a boy, I used to fish a lot with a worm on the bottom, for whatever would bite. When the fising was slow, I would sing, and I noticed that whenever I sang, fishing would pick up.
As an adult, I seldom subscribe to such theories as they seem somewhat, well, immature. However...
I have noticed time and again that fish tend to strike when I am not thinking about what I am doing. If I step away from my pole, start staring off into space, daydreaming, or, yes, even singing.
Theory: Fish are able to detect predatory instincts which eminate from humans while they fish. When humans disengage from concentrating on catching fish, these predatory urges are no longer sensed by the fish, and they are more relaxed about taking the bait.
Now I know this sounds silly, but seriously, haven't you noticed this pattern while you are fishing? Maybe there is a less ethereal explanation, but I like mine. :applause:
