I do listen to music, i helps at times.

No way, my ears are 1 tool I won't sacrifice. For the folks that listen to music when fishing, do you also wear a blindfold?

I understand that fishing can be different from 1 person to the next, some aren't out there with the same goal as myself. For many, It's just to relax. In this case, sure, bring your tunes, but if you are on a serious hunt, I suggest leaving the walkman at home. JMO

Although,.....If we play the music WHILE we are fishing, the videos would be a lot easier to make,lol.

If you can't heard the sound of nature then you music is too loud (having grown up in the 60s I can't believe I just said that). I carry a small CD player with a select number of albums; I keep the volume at a minimum. I don't own anything with head phones because they irritate me to no end. Some nights I never turn the CD player on but on those nights when it's hours between bites a little Southern Rock sure make the wait easier.

When I am fishing alone I wouldnt mind listening to music in the background (no earphones) but my bassboat is not equipped with a radio. When I am fishing with friends its usually chatting about fishing, different patterns to try, things that are going on in real life.
