You knew this thread was coming, right?

 

Well, as an old woman who launches in the dark and lands my canoe in the dark, my most hated sound is voices when returning to my parked car. 99% of the time, no one is there, but when someone is, it's heeby-jeeby creepy! I landed to voices the other night, but it was pitch black and I hovered off-shore and listened for a few minutes. I'm sure they didn't know I was there, so I waited and assessed before landing. 

 

Another sound I hate is the thunk when I drop my pliers. I work so hard to be quiet and dropping pliers in my Kelvar canoe is the auditory equivalent of launching a flare. 

 

Last one: Tree branches rustling as your partner tries to free his lure for the tenth time that morning. And then the chalkboard screeching declaration: "We're going to have to go to shore and get it."

"Is there anything in this vessel that shouldn't be?"

GAS LEAF BLOWERS.....debil's machines 

-Thunder

-Deep throated croaking of a catfish that swallowed my DT6

-"Oh, I didn't realize you were working that bank in this direction"

-Jetski engine

-When the person on the back deck says, "Oh *÷$#"

-Phone ringing

 

Sounds of fishing pole falling out of kayak rod holder. Hate those things

100%  should have been my #1.  Chainsaws are bad, too, but tolerable.  Some lakefront folks can blow leafs for 2 hours nonstop.

Construction equipment or chainsaws, all I can think of is “oh boy, more McMansions”

"Yeah, just you officer."

Yep, I knew this was coming lol The sound I hate the most is the cursing I do when I loose a big fish! 

a JDM fishing rod snapping into two.  the horrors of the sound is directly proportional to the purchase price of the rod.

Someone already mentioned this in the other thread, but the sound that a Blue Heron makes is cringing lol.  I can usually see them coming because of their size, but sometimes it catches you off guard.

I don’t see you or @AlabamaSpothunteroffering to rake them all up by hand……..

 

I can’t just let the things pile up 

Line breaking.

Swans and geese honking as they're coming into land or take off.  Last year I had one (swan) fly into a rod in my holder on my kayak.  

"Get away from my dock!"

These for sure!! When I hear a jet ski coming, I turn and look at them with the most evil look. I don't try to do it, it's just a natural reaction.

 

Also, cruising pontoon boats just BLASTING music that can be heard from the other side of the lake.

  and Wake boats, I despise wake boats.  Zero consideration for anyone else on the water.

The really bad local bands at the marina on Saturday nights....I think that some of this “music” is awful enough to be banned by the Geneva Convention.

 

Also the wake boat that thinks he is DJ for the entire lake - there’s one clown at Roosevelt virtually every weekend that sits a hundred yards from the Grapevine ramp and plays “Low Low Low” on a seemingly endless loop. 

I don't know how many of you have heard this noise, but there is gurgling-type noise that a small northern pike makes when you grab it to remove the lure.  I heard it on Saturday when I was muskie fishing and caught about a 24 incher.  Its a slimy, snot-clearing noise and its tattooed on my brain forever.

First one's on me.

The second one is not.

btw, leaf blowers, chain saws & gun fire can all be part of any fishing trip I make. 

Think we had the trifecta on this one . . . . .

A-Jay

The sound of a treble hook lure coming towards you in the dark!

 

The crack of a .22 when your line breaks  

 

The click, click, click of a dead battery ?

the phone ringing.................anyplace anytime.....

I am so very ok with just letting them pile up.  My wife has always been of the the anti-pile-up persuasion.   However, she has recently been converted!  Hallelujah.   Two unrelated events/reasons:

1.  Early last fall I started what could have conceivably turned into a large forest fire when the leaves I was mulching (prior to blowing) piled up under front end of my John Deere and literally burst into flames.  This year, wife is good with letting them be.

2.  The next door neighbor that we share our cove with blows his leaves into the water....apparently, the resulting decaying muck isn't pleasant for wading and swimming, so wife is even more in the let-them-lay camp.

I know the noise quite well. It usually means I'm squeezing the sucker a little too hard. Whoops.

Yea wake boats with boom box blaring means the recreational crowd just hit the water and jet skis are heading the way.

The sound at night of a bass boat running full speed with no lights and hull slapping the water I am 200 yards off shore fishing a hump.

Making a cast in the dark using a crank bait and doesn’t land on the water. Deep guttural growls or a rattlesnake buzzing as you go to retrieve the snagged crank bait.

The sickening sound of the prop grinding on rocks.

Casting a expensive swimbait hearing the line snap then watching the lure sail off into deep water.

The warning buzzer going off on the big engine after running an hour up lake...not good!

Breaking off a big bass near the boat as the FC fails for no apparent reason.

Telling your partner to get the net and the reply is where is it!
