I'm really not certain of the origin but I heard long ago that bananas were bad luck on a boat. I know this old wives tale gets a lot of respect from the Hawaiian Island region as evidenced in much of their fishing charter advertising. I'm not superstitious but I just happened to pass this on to some fellow charter captains last week at the conference. Most of them had never heard this before.
Perhaps some stories long ago were told of vessels which had problems or even sank at sea and they just happened to have bananas as their cargo. Needless to say I don't want to stretch my luck as the fishing and fishing charters on Lake Erie have been good for me. So let me say just leave your bananas at home & bring meat in your lunches while charter fishing with us.
For more information on what you can bring aboard please contact the captain via his website at http://www.LakeErieCaptain.com
