OK, I'll come clean. A squeeler went and posted the banana oil ad on our website to this thread. Geez, I confess; I just wanted everyone else to get comfy with takin nanas out in there boat again so there would be more fish for me . I'm sorry, forgive me. This is a very fishy thread full of wisdom here. I've learned that on occasion when I'm just in that 'have to take some bananas out fishing mood' all I have to do is invite Aunt Jamima over to pee in the bottom of my boat and I'm free and clear to load up a bunch in the sled and head for the river. Cool! I have an alternative remedy though, because a few of you guys may not be good enough friends with a nice black lady that would indulge and pee in your boats for you; and yet you know dam well you want to take a couple bananas in your fishing lunch bag. Right? Right! So here's a little known secret that works for this dilema. Take some vaseline jelly and cover the banana skin real thoroughly to seal in it's scent. This also enables you to do the tough part a little easier; for best results you need to shove the greased bananas up a dog's @$$. You read that right. This double seals and covers the banana scent and rids them of their bad luck properties at the same time. Hawaiian fishermen discovered this technique centuries ago and it's a proven tech. Sounds silly and gross but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
