There are many myths about bananas on boats but I think the most reasonable one I’ve ever heard is that merchant ships in the 1700’s transporting bananas, travelling around the Caribbean had no luck in catching fish along the way. This was because they would travel at higher speeds due to bananas spoiling quicker than most other fruits and vegetables. Hence it was bad luck to have bananas on board…🤷🏼♂️ I’ve heard many but that one sounds the most plausible… In any case, it’s never stopped me taking a banana for a snack.
Bananas release ethene gas which causes other fruit and vegetables to ripen quicker. I think that's part of the story of why they wouldn't bring bananas on ships too
I’ve seen it first hand myself, Botany Bay, day 1 catching fish hand over fist, very next day , even better conditions, higher barometric and less breeze, no bite , like zero, boat 50 m away busy as, turned around, there’s the girlfriend munching on a banana. She didn’t believe me, so next time we went Darwin, mentioned it to charter master, 100% in agreement, the next year, she now being educated, just casually announced as the sky was getting light, has anybody got bananas on board, one young lady said yes, she had the opportunity to eat it on the refuelling wharf or lock it in the office before we shoved off, she ate it, but he then asked the lady, where did you discard the peels, she pointed to the on board plastic garbo bag, he flipped out, and restocked our vessel with new garbage bag, they then both washed their hands on the on shore cleaning table, we caught heaps, so jam your opinion , it’s true, Polynesians swear by it over the centuries- dude
I call BS on the banana rubbish it's a F'n delicious nutritious fruit I take the cvnts all the time makes no difference😮 don't know what DH started that crap ffs it's just food🙄
I sometimes recover sunken boats for insurance companies ! I refloated three vessels last year And the first thing that popped up from each one was a banana ! Say no more ! I'm not racist but it did make me rethink when packing me lunchbox!👍👀
Freshwater fishies loves bananas, I used to do that in many rivers and creeks in South America. I used to fish 🎣 with bananas I’m my childhood, in South America.
Au falcon sick khaaant! Faaark u make me laugh! Keep up your hilarious vids! I know where them 1000 bananas went………… Banana fritters squirting from his shitterrrr!!! Powerfish is gay as!!!
Caught a 46cm flatty off the chindarra half Bridge with a red snake lolly, thought it would be fun until we had to drag it into the beach from the bridge just to catch it...
If 1000 bananas in the boat plus a banana smoothie for berley add 1/4 banana for bait equals an 80cm bream , then 2000 bananas in the boat plus a 44 gallon drum of banana berley & a whole banana for bait , gotta be at least a 5 metre flatty .
It doesn't have anything to do with fishing it's because back in the day they would ship bananas in wooden boats and the bananas would go rotten and then rott the bottom of the boat out
Myth goes like this, the reason is that a island use to have their goods delivered by barge to the people and apparently very time the barge had a load of bananas along with other supplies the weather would turn to shit and the barges would sink
My understanding is that back in the 1700s they banned bananas because spoil fast as they went rotten they would drip juices into the hull off the ship causing them to list further as the juice sloshed around, in turn tipping the ships over..
*200 nautical miles offshore right now* and *at least an 80cm bream*- its the little things that make me crack up - on ya fish ❤
Get Grandma to knit some balaclavas and sell them on ya shop you dog
Where’s waterway’s to do a safety check 😂😂😂

I am trying to laugh at anything possible but fighting a loosing battle.
Your a great man, keep the people laughing please.
No such thing as fighting a losing battle. If your fighting your winning my brø
Well said bro.
when you have a great idea when you're drunk, then follow through when you're sober.
🎵 Banana Boat. Fun sun protection. Banana boat. It’s 30+… 🎵
The reason why is becauuse Bananas next to other fruits make them ripen quicker and spoil. So it was said bananas are bad luck on a boat
People's foreskin!😂
The Coffs Harbour special perfect for flatty’s

I read it was the heat and they would spoil and a bug infestation would break out on board.

I was disappointed to see a bream on the line, honestly I was hoping for a chook
No gear but the right idea
Waste of bananas. All for attention.
