Brak wants to know, Why do we have to be quiet when fishing?

Sound travels through water better than air, and not to mention fish can "feel" the banging around and cause of the loud noises with their lateral line, they can also hear it, too.
 
GMB got it. Sound travels through water very, very well. The slightest sounds can spook fish away quite easily.
 
....added to which the noise p*****s off other anglers who are there for some peace and quiet.
