A playlist for your next fishing trip

A nice day on the water with your family or friends isn’t complete without some tunes. If you’re looking for a great playlist to accompany your next fishing trip you’re in luck! We’ve compiled a list of songs from OOD writers and staff that’s sure to get you in the fishing spirit.

How to listen

There are a few different ways to enjoy music while you fish. One option is to bring along a portable speaker. This is ideal if you’re with friends and family. If you’re out on the water alone, you could also wear headphones, but keep in mind that this may obscure your awareness of your surroundings. Pay extra attention to what’s around you.

Music’s for everyone

With so many genres of music available, tastes and song preferences vary. That’s why we decided to put together an all-inclusive playlist including various genres such as rock, country, rap, and more. There’s a song for everyone.
