Maybe even the high frequency squeal of back end of a TV, one thing i going on is when I turn on the flat screen TV, my cat becomes fully alerted.    :woot:

So, some 'noise' beyond our normal hearing ~ it exits.     :unsure:

Sometimes use a radio. So far no ill effects on the fish bite.

Do you ever turn your Radio to a blank station?  You can hear your Pings from your Flasher or Depth finder.  I think sometimes fishes Laterial line can  feel these pings. sound travels fast through H20.
10% of the fisherman catch 90% of the fish .....im a 10% are you?

I haven't noticed any problem with just the music. However sometimes the Mrs wants to dance, and this always drives the fish away  ???

They like the Old Country tunes and the smell of a good cigar.  I have never notices a big difference.  Now walking with cleats on is another story.

Cleats, for sure, Ches.

I've had perch on a tipdown, all can be calm, it's just 'there' . With cleats from 30' away the calm perch go crazy and the rod starts dancing.      :woot: :o

Always have music going in the shack. Never noticed any difference in fishing with or without music/tv going.

I have never noticed a difference either.  They're either biting or they're not.  I've turn both TV and radio off/on during action and there's never been a noticible difference.

I think the radio helps sometimes with perch on lake Erie...

Maybe it sounds like a school of shiners????

When they aren't biting, it helps with boredom fo sho!

It always seems like the fish like to bite when a Led Zeppelin song comes on. It just seems like a local thing in Montana. Maybe the fish are a 60's -70"s strain.
