Noise
G'day gents,
Just wondering if it is true fish get scared from noise? Like would they get scared from a ukulele playing against the crashing waves?
Always have been interested if true or not.
Thanks boys.

Re: Noise
Dunno about a ukulele. But I've recently fished with someone who swore by not making any bangs and thuds. We weren't whispering on the boat. But things like the standard not banging the sinkers that everyone should do. However the Snapping the whitings necks before putting them in the esky so they don't flap around was an interesting one. We scored 30+ whiting for the session so I was happy to oblige.
Went out a fortnight later in my boat. Replicated the same conditions and got another 20. Definitely merit to keeping any noises that transmit through water to an absolute minimum.

Re: Noise
I have watched Bream scatter when a loud noise was made. In shallow water the quieter you can be the better.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Re: Noise
i wasn't making much noise along the banks of the creek when I was carp fishing the other day but I saw a lot of puffs of muddy water from the carp being spooked by the vibrations of my footsteps as i got close

Re: Noise
I would be keen to know did he turn his sounder off the ticking sound is quite loud. Some fish are attracted to noise boats with twin engines for example. I always have the radio on in my boat especially when crickets on. I would agree with fresh water fish and shallow water but if you are in 20mt I don't think you have to walk around your boat on tip toes.

I think this is right - lets face it many off shore fish come up to see what the noise is all about but in shallow water it's different in many cases
KGW for example I quite often am have still been sight fishing whiting in 1.2 meters of water with the kayak - have one boat go past close and thats it all gone
look at salmon bust ups drift through them with some slugs and it's a lot of fun motor through them with a boat for no or little action action
lets face it we have all been pissed off by the clown that doesn't get it and bores straight over the bust up you are working and disperse the fish
by the way you can sneak over a bust up with the yak - guess which one is quiet and stealthy
by the way I also turn off my sounder as soon as I park more to save the battery but have thought that the clicking noise may be off putting to the fish

Re: Noise
Not so much the noise of moving around. But ive always found it interesting when ive been on tinnies with the amount of hull noise they make. I definitely notice it because mine is a polyboat and is a lot quieter. But the tinnies still catch fish. So it must not bother them that much id say....
