When I'm fishing with my friends in my boat, lots of times, someone wants to put some music on. I don't really like listening to music while fishing, I prefer the silence personally. But I never like playing music (even quietly on an iphone) because I feel like the fish can hear sound vibrations in the water or something?
-Does anyone know if this is a fact? Or is this just in my head? (And I'm only talking about music being played quietly on a phone or something, not a real system with sub woofers or anything.)
I could see it not being a big deal on a large river like the Sac with large swift runs. But back up in smaller, still, and quiet sloughs for stripers or bass I really feel like the fish could be spooked by underwater sound vibrations, even though I've never seen anything to confirm this for me.
Also, Lets say I'm fishing a small stream like Hot Creek. I know wading loud, or walking upright and being highly visible would spook fish 100% for sure. But if I'm hidden well while stalking fish, and I were to yell out to a friend (or even talk loudly) does anyone think this can spook fish? Basically I'm asking if fish in these types of small streams can hear voices? Or to what degree?
I know theres a few questions here but I've always just assumed that yes they can hear and do get spooked. But it would be nice to hear from someone who has had some experience with this stuff, or just hear various opinions or facts in general... Thanks in advance if anyone chooses to respond!
