No secret sauce needed on my boat... the secret is in the chant. Happy kids echoing this chant will put fish in the boat... well, most of the time anyway. This is a variation of a popular kid's chant that starts out with the line "Da moose, da moose". Here's the Team eyeFISH Jr League version:
Da feesh, da feesh!..... (Echo) Da feesh, da feesh!
Swimming in da watah..... Swimming in da watah
Eating his suppah..... Eating his suppah
Where did he go?..... Where did he go?
We need a bite..... We need a bite
We need a bite, mahn!..... We need a bite, mahn!
Da feesh, da feesh!..... Da feesh, da feesh!
Swimming in da watah..... Swimming in da watah
Eating his suppah..... Eating his suppah
DOWN goes the rod!..... DOWN goes the rod!
We gotta bite!..... We gotta bite!
We gotta bite, mahn!..... We gotta bite, mahn!
Have a little fun and try it.

Had a group of guys out trolling for estuary salmon 6 years ago. We had a hot morning bite, but by the noon hour, things were starting to slow again. After about an hour of emptiness on a LONG downhill troll, I decided it was time to break out the secret weapon.
I announced that it was audience participation, Kum Ba Ya style, repeat after me. It was pretty funny to see five grown men chanting away, with one of my companions capturing the moment on video.
Wouldn't you know it, as we uttered the words "We gotta a bite"..... well we got a bite, and down went the rod! It was hilarious, and every one aboard was absolutely dumbfounded by what had just transpired. Would love to post a pic, but that hot king threw the barbless hook on its second or third jump! Good thing we got it all on video or no one would ever believe me.
Da feesh, da feesh!
