Why?

Do you have or like to wash a lot of dishes?



Them Oregon Boys and their *need* for Lemon Joy soap. I see that you have just started a new panic over on ifish. I wonder how many PM's you will get over on that board?

Uh sure. If you *think* it helps you catch more fish, than go for it. Not like it's gonna hurt anything. Besides, you'll end up with really clean rods, reels, plugs, anchor lines, boats....



Speaking of odd-ball things fishermen do to mask their scent while out piscatorial pursuing, did any of you see that Fishing The West show where the host goes out fishing with the young gal out in the Sound? First thing she does is break out the tube of mint flavored Crest and proceeds to put a big goop in her hands, rubs it all over, and rinses it off in the water. She states to Larry that this is what she uses to mask her scent from those ever keen smelling salmonids.

My Dad saw this and ever since, he *has* to either put tooth paste on his hands before fishing, or more of late since he forgets the toothpast, is to rub some river sand on his hands to mask his scent.

Every time. I just look at my Old Man and roll my eyes, as every offspring should do to their parents. I now know this as my six and four year old do it to me. My kids flat out think their Old Man is way off his rocker kinda looney.

Fun stuff.

Lemon Joy, toothpaste, river sand, and just good old fashioned latex gloves? Anyone got any other good sources of scent maskers you'd care to share?
