This myth is sooo wide spread it is amazing. I have been fishing in canada for years, sturgeon, salmon cod ect.. and all the guides say bananas are bad luck but none could answer with a tory like yours. Thank you for sharing!

Also banannas would rot before the ships would arrive at port. Diseases flys rats bananna spiders and maggots would come to trading towns along with the banannas. Also when a bananna ship would sink, the only way to tell was bushes of banannas floating

I just thought that bananas on boats promoted horseplay and led to accidents from slipping on peels, this spider theory intrigues me.. 🤔

My cousins andrew and ryan once brought bananas on the boat. Consequences were 4 stripers over 2 days when we should have gotten easy limits each day 🤦

Well here in Belize we don't carry or consume bananas before any fishing trip. As according to a few old school guys they claim that fish can detect potassium which they dislike and makes it difficult to catch fish.

Its true, i brought some bananas onboard my boat for a quick tuna hunt out to the 150 and 14 mile last week when bluefin were allover the 150. First my boat didnt want to start, then after we threw them out, it started. Once out at sea and near avalon a couple of sparkplug wires fell off and i thought the engine was going south so we started to limp it home before we decided to pop the lid and found em. I also lost about 6 fish right at the surface, and nobody really caught anything and didnt find and boils anywhere. No more bananas on boat days for me.

So people never take bananas on boats, for the same reason people never used to sail out of sight from land. This is worse than superstition, because spiders haven’t jumped out of bananas in about 150 years. Certainly not on a day trip. How do bananas get from the tropics to America? I’ve actually never been on a boat without taking a banana. Although yesterday it was terribly rough weather after I ate banana pudding. It got so rough I could only drive about 12 knots back to the dock. Not sure if it was the banana pudding or the fact that 25 mph gusts were predicted for late afternoon, and I was still out in the boat at the exact time they were predicted. Let’s blame the bananas. Guess I’m just lucky to still be here after 45 years of boats and bananas.

I wonder if it had something to do with bananas emitting ethylene gas that causes things to ripen faster, perhaps spoiling the other fresh food on board 🤔

A lot of people are superstitious about that stuff cause they don’t know the origination or they’ve had days where they’ve skunked out so they blame something like a fruit in the shape of a 0 to some is bad luck. I bet one day someone stepped in dog shit and just happens to have a really good day of fishing and that’s where the dog shit saying probably came from
