Definitely no oranges, either.
Apples are OK. I had a fishing mate who'd get crook in a river and he'd munch on an apple to settle his tum tum. He didn't like ginger.
Every now and again it just does not work. Checking boat last night for a 5am tuna trip. Gaff missing! No Idea where or how that could have gone AWOL. Had to defer to get a new one at 7am. On water 3 hours late. Port Phillip head turned it on with a washing machine. A wave up and dive down got everyone very wet
Three new crew had wide eyes until we got out into 20- 30 metres out of the chop plus. Tuna did not show up and none of the other boats were turning a reel.
The motor stalled- tangle in four lines as my instructions to a few now some what green people had slow responses. Un tangled restarted boat and headed back to the washing machine. It was better on the way in.
NO fish. A dolphin, a few dozen seals and a day on the water - Back out Saturday with a solo effort to avoid the Green Machine Add my diving kit and will ensure no bananas in boat.
Just kidding - Not superstitious at all
Snopes on topic- Rec fishers only in this husbands tale
"In 2001 The New York Times quoted Rick Etzel of Montauk, New York, captain of The Breakaway, as saying: "Fishermen believe bananas are bad luck. Something about a shipload of bananas that carried some weird bacteria which killed everyone on board. Maybe fictitious, but some people take the banana thing very seriously. A few years back, a guy on one of my charters showed up wearing a Banana Republic T-shirt. Another guy in the group went up to him with a knife and slashed the logo.""

I know taking people who get sea sick is the best way to get off the water a lot faster to rest
Out yesterday at Westernport - Rhyll, Phillip Island out to Bass Straight for 8 solid 'solo' hours with not on tuna being kind to me.
10,000 plus +++++ Mutton birds- (short feathered shear waters) 15km offshore, several seals just lazing about- I think I missed the party! Just one 20ish kg tuna at the ramp later!
Wind was scheduled to blow me away so back inside and found it tough going. Drifted until a bite then dropped the pick. Bagged out on pan size snapper and one nice whiting I had for dinner.
A full large fish head was on my way back line. A very big fish stripped a LOT of line off as I was pulling up another fish.
Go it to the boat then happy the rather big shark bite into the have trace/leader and swam away. I was about two km from hundreds of beach goers swimming.
