No bite No fish

[njfisherman1975]

I have never heard this one before but I guess it makes sense. Anything that's not natural would probably throw off a bite whether it's noise or something else. Gotta go with captains advice on this one but personally have never heard that before

I forgot to add that I was told by an old captain that aluminum or steel boats send more noise and vibration through the hull than wooden boats. And this is a turn off for blackfish. I guess all the feet stamping around the metal deck can send noise through the water.

Not sure how much I buy into the old captain's or diver's theories. Maybe if you are fishing in ten feet of water. If blackfish are really turned off by the sounds from metal boats how do you explain the fact that plenty of them have consistently put up great catches for many years, Ocean Explorer, J II, Dauntless, Norma K to name just a few.

I used to spearfish a bit and blackfish are not even that spooked by a human swimming up to them with a speargun in hand. Just my observation.

I believe u r correct , shallow water might deep don't believe so ! Too many fish caught om metal boats to support this theory.

OY VEY!!!!

" He said that all the sinkers on a party boat banging the rocks causes them to shut down after sitting a while on one spot. He reasoned that a smaller boat like a six pack or private boat will always out-fish a party boat. Any comments from others on this subject?"

Another winner :-)
