From what I understand about the reason bananas are bad luck had nothing to do with catching fish.

It has to do with the fact that they rot quicker than other fruits and vegs and spoil them.

This has to do with long voyages.

I fish often with bananas in the boat and have found that they do not cause you bad luck. Bad luck is any thing you want to blame for slow fishing that day. On a trip to the N.F. Lewis with RT this summer, I had a banana in my lunch cooler. I got a s/h and Rt can tell you what he got.

But you have to be happy and confident so...good luck if you are superstitious.
