Will music scare fish away

I love to boat and fish, and I love music. Is there a reason I never hear music
comming from other fishing boats.

Most serious fishermen try to minimize any distractions that might
interfere with their concentration. That said, one of the best anglers I
know plays music all day long.

I often sing when bass fishing....sometimes it's the "Blues"....other
times it's more "festive" .

Personally, for myself I go to the lake FOR the peace and quiet with no
noise or reminders of the world I'm trying to leave behind for a few
blissful hours. Then out of the blue, I get a rude awaking that the world
is just to freaking populated to find such a place, not even a lake I
thought semi remote isn't immune but is rather ruined by someone blaring
their music to loud, or a freaking jetski buzzing around me like a bee from
a disturbed hive.

I think I can speak for the rest of the fisherman that do it recreationally
with my above logic. Professionals too for that matter.

Bass are especially fond of Classic Rock, The Who & Pink Floyd in
particular. Just stay away from that Hip-Hop garbage if you want to draw
strikes...

ANY vibrations, including those created by the reproduction of music, that
are allowed to be transmitted from your boat into the water will carry a
long way, and directly to the fish. If that vibration simulates the sounds
of prey, great. If not, your chances (and those of anyone around you) of
catching fish are seriously diminished.

Therefore, if you cannot tolerate the beautiful sounds of peace, quiet, &
casual conversation, show the smarts to keep the volume as low as possible,
and make sure you back off on the bass as far as possible. Otherwise, use
headphones or the Off switch.

I love music but when on the water all I want to hear are the sounds of
nature. Birds, fish, wind, stuff like that. I consider noise from other
boats, any noise, bothersome.

But that's just me.
