Smoking

[slowride]

I know a guy that everytime he isn't catching fish he say's it's time to light up and for some reason he normally catches a bass? It's pretty funny really...

well i am one of those who lights up to catch a fish, when the ledge bite is slow, the best thing a person can do is slow down dragging that rig. i catch a lot of fish by casting out, dragging my rig into the strikezone, and lighting up. you'd be surprised how many fish that catches. i have found no difference in the amount of bites you get smoking or not. but, it is a nasty habit and a bad influence on the sport. btw, most of my butts go in a container on the boat, not in the lake

Good job, I hate seeing them nasty **** things floating everywhere in the water. Hey guys you ones that do throw them into the lake, I've got an idea, QUIT DOING IT! Those filters are forever, they will be around when you are pushing up daisies, just my two cents....

Nicotine is extremely toxic to fish.
One grain of tobacco from a cigarette can kill every fish
in my aquarium at home.
I'm sure the scent can make a difference.

I really wouldnt know, but i do always rub some garlic bass attractant on my hands before i start fishing. i have no idea if it helps, but it sure couldnt hurt

I used to smoke----especially while fishing. I have quit smoking the last few years and I catch less fish now then I ever did----LOL!!!!! Although, I know I am healthier then I used to be! I just wish I could catch more fish and not have to smoke to do it.

I think that's true for most of us, even the non-smokers.
It's been slower the last few years.
My 86 yr old dad still talks about the "good ol days"

Do you guys really think that Bass are that smart? I personally think they eat first ask questions later.
Heck, look at what they eat already. Metal, tin, lead, plastic, rubber, paint or whatever else they make baits out of. Oh, and now they have Coffee scented baits. We have all heard of WD-40 being sprayed on baits and what about suntan lotion/sunscreen? Anyone use that while fishing? Are we to believe that now they don't like Nicotine? LOL! I don't think so. JMO

BTW, back in the good ole' days I wonder how many baits were made that were not finished with some sort of paint? I wonder if the fish liked Cedar as opposed to Poplar or Pine???

has any one seen the cheech & chong movie cant remember the name where he is by a pond smoking and the fish comes out of the water and ask for a hit. that tells you there they dont care because everything in the movies are reel. like some one else said, they have coffe baits and if you smoke you know that coffe and cigs go together. i wonder if you can catch a bunch of catfish on cat nip.
