I like to listen to audible audio book while fishing.

Is Spoonplugging on audio book? How convenient would that be!

If I am in a boat, the IPOD is on.

if you want music in my boat, bring your headphones. I tried listening to music years ago and found myself singing and tapping my feet to the beat and missing fish. I could wait till I'm back in my truck and listen on the way home.

While fishing (kayak or boat)...............no    but recreational kayaking or boating........yes.  When I'm fishing, I love the sounds of nature around me. Similar to hunting, I like to pay attention to my environment when I'm fishing.

What is 'recreational kayaking or boating'?

 

I've seen people in watercraft without fishing rods, but always wondered "Why?"...."What are they doing?"

People enjoying their Watercraft without any other activity attached to it. Kinda like people who ride ATVs and UTVs without rifles, shotguns, tree stands and backpacks.  Sometimes it's nice to just go out boating. Looking forward to running the Ohio River with my wife without all the rods and tackle boxes.
