Smoking

I don't smoke but I guess my only comment is if you do smoke please do not throw your cigarette butts in the lake, river or stream.

I don't think it makes a bit of difference. I've seen guys dip plastic worms in gas and catch fish on them... Dan... And I don't smoke...

I remember reading the book "Knowing Bass" last year. It's the one by the guy from Berkley fishing. If I remember correctly, gas and oil did not really have a negative affect on bass. Deet and sunscreen did have a huge negative affect. I don't remember about tobacco, I think it was listed too but I forget the results. I'll try to find that book and look it up.

I catch more fish now that i quit smoking.I think the reason is because i don't have too take the time too light one up.lolTerry Adolph

I don't think the fish "care" at all either way IMO

It seems the only time that I do smoke now is when im fishing. I can smell the nicotine on my hands so Im sure it could transfer to your baits. I never really thought about it before. Sounds like a good reason to quit smoking all together or start using scents on my baits. Hmmmmm....I'll have to study that one for awhile.
