Nugget plays it on his show some times, just about sums it up I reckon.

If you want actual fishing songs, not just songs to listen to while fishing, checkout "Worlds Greatest Fishing Band" Papa was a Fishin Man - 50 song - 4CD set. Formerly known as the Dorados. They are American but still good fishin music.

They also have a CD's titled "All Gone Fishin" & "Drinkin Town Fishin Problem"


For Australia fishing songs check out Ron Odgers CD titled "Sittin, Sippin, Fishin"

Thanks Steve.I actually dont listen to anything while fishing ,but there is a few songs i like to listen to while on the way to the ramp or driving down the beach looking for that gutter.Its kinda puts me in the mood and my kids love it too ,having said that it can be boring listen to Slims light on the hill 10 times in a row on my sons request.

I like Troy Casser Daleys River Boy as it is the first song I heard on my first boat a little over two years ago . but I also like most music from the eighties ( not quite fishing music )
cheers fae haggis ......................

[loophole]

nova 106.9 thats just me tho as i was born in the early 90's lol
but if its on i will listen to nugget on 4bc on sat and sun between 5am-7am

[juju]

Its a big day dawning, i see the sunlight flickering out across the bay
All rigged up and im ready to go , got the charts from the bureau...weatherman said the weathers fine
A big black marlin is going to be mine
Haul up the anchor, move in slow, blast of engines and off we go...
This is where i love to be riding the swell on the deep blue sea...
Hay mate come out fishing with me.....

25 odd years ago on cris conroys world of boats, a 30 min show on the marlin comp off tangals
Never been able to get that thing out of my head...esp on a early morning running out...

[snelly1971]

I must admit that i sometimes play AC Dc...when we have some wild trips back home from offshore....but Keith Urban is easy on the ears also....

Mick

[jez and suze]

cant remember what the song is......think its the theme to nuggets show.....but it has all the local fishing names thrown in.....you can get it off nuggets site.

[Flattie Assassin]

I listen to Paul Kelly a lot on my ipod while kayaking. It's good solid Australian ear candy. :)

[gawby]

;D I got into trouble for some of the jokes i put on here so am not going to start with the songs i know.;D ;D ;D

[Custaro]

'Custard - Lucky Star'
or
'The Titanics - Millionaire Adventure Balloonist'

'The Fauves - Celebrate the Failure' would be a good one for coming home from the ramp.

[B_E_N]

if you up and heading out early in the morning nothing beats jack johnson "rainbow" a must have!

[lippa]

zz top, its just great fishing music!!!!!!!

[revs57]

For me its usually anything from the foo fighters, or for those early morning trips pink floyd usually the "Wish you were here" album sometimes Dark side of the moon gets a play.

do like kryptonite too though

[Horse]

Jimmy Buffet hits the spot to put me in a nautical frame of mind

Cheers

Custard is that the pub band from the 90's in brissie?, My dads cousin was in that Shane Bruun

This them?

[Little grey men]

Dan Tyminski, Hayseed Dixie, George Jones..any hillbilly stuff works for me when I'm heading out to fish in the early morning. If you want a fishing song. Primus "The Old Diamond Back Sturgeon " comes to mind. A song written from the fishes perspective...pretty kooky. the bass playing is other worldly. Primus are very keen fisho's...Other Primus songs, Harold of the rocks, John the fisherman.
Not everyones cup of tea though. Most people would listen to it with a confused look on their face.
Makes me wiggle and dance like a muppet

[BilgeBoy]

Try a song called the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot....Love that song...gives me chills every time I listen to it...and you wont get a more nautical song.

Got to agree with the other Pink Floyd fans,'Shine on you crazy diamond' takes some beating in the pre dawn light.

[NAGG]

When your charging out to your favorite spot (Flat stick) ...... Iron Maidens " Rhyme of the ancient mariner":guitarist: :wut: ...... & don't kill an albatross ! ..... Nagg

[marshy]

Jimmy Buffett. No better fishing music in my opinion.

Marshy

[ffejsmada]

Fin by Fin - The Drones
Greasy Grass River - The Black Crowes
The Endless Sea - Iggy Pop

Anything from Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, Motorhead.
