VABasser Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 Great smells guys, you brought up a few that I had forgot. Man, why cant spring/summer be here now :'( Quote
guitarkid Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 times two for the renegade worms.Diesel exhaust in the morning, and the smell of pavement after it rains. -searoach Quote
jasone Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Mine is the wierdest I think. Power worms. I fished with them when I was a kid when they first came out and my olfactory senses have never forgotten. J Quote
Dean Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Yep. Smell of an outboard at 5 am. x2, nothing beats getting up and headin out early and smellin some exhaust. Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Sometimes it's good to come home smelling like fish... ;D hahaha Quote
The Rooster Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I love the smell of ZOOM plastics .... But I also love the smell of bass on my hand, already been said, but it's the smell of success ...always good. Eventhough I tend to barely eat while on the water (usually take a snack and most often than not, I'll bring something to eat but will only eat it when I'm out of the water)..... but I still love the smell of somebody grilling ribs, or any barbecue smell for that matter ! Always makes me hungry, but I usually keep on fishin .... yop weird. BTW, I just can't stand 3X soft plastics' smell. I agree wholeheartedly with everything this statement has said, it's just like me, with the exception of the 3X part, never fished those before. Quote
CJ Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Well since I started using garlic scent, I no longer like garlic on my food. Only occasionally will I eat garlic bread with pastas. The worst smell is a skunk! : Oh, this is supposed to be a smell I like. Okay, I like the smell of a new boat. Quote
osbornj2 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Along with V&M baits I found a bag of lizards once fishing it had a crazy weird pork sent And I thought that maybe I was the only one in the world who loves V&M ! It's like a cross between black licorice (anise, I guess) and pork fat...MMM MMM....makes me wanna go out to the garage right now and grab a bag!! In addition to most of the things that you guys have already mentioned (i.e. a spring rain, outboard exhaust at 5 am, that "fishy" smell on your fingers [and it usually ends up on my jeans too!]), I also love to occasionally enjoy a cigar out on the boat, and I love that smell too (almost as much as the smell of brand new tires at the tire store!)

BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 2, 2008 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 2, 2008 2 cycle smoke in the morning is hard to beat..... This reminmds me of another one....VP racing fuel!!! For those who love the gas smell, this one just adds "sweet" to the mix. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted March 2, 2008 Super User Posted March 2, 2008 My favorite smell is early evenings in the summer, fishing from our dock. Just a bit after the sun sets, a layer of cool air starts to sink from above. When it settles at ground level, and mixes with our sandy soil, it is one of the sweetest scents I've ever had the pleasure to experience. I have lost numerous fish over the years because I've been too busy smelling, and flub the hook-set. It's well worth a few lost fish for such a wonderful memory. Also, beating the banks in the spring during the week the lilacs bloom. And just about any brand of anise or garlic scented soft plastics; they always bring a smile to my face. Quote

maxke01 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 where i fish the grass is cut quite often. I love the smell of fresh cut grass Quote
Popeye Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I'll have to ditto the smell of the morning dew and mist as it evaporates off the water's surface. The sound of loons and ducks is also a sheer joy to hear as well. Quote
ba7ss3in Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 after reading all those posts, makes me hate Mondays. Rain on a hot summer day. Quote
slomoe Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 gas fumes, rain, and YUM. All of which have been previously mentioned. Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I'll have to ditto the smell of the morning dew and mist as it evaporates off the water's surface. The sound of loons and ducks is also a sheer joy to hear as well. 2x -- add in the "earthy" smell of the woods. Only thing that makes it better is spring time when the honeysuckle is blooming. Quote
Del from philly Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 favorite- fresh opened bag of Senkos....plasticy, fresh, perfect least favorite- Garlic scent from mallmart (think its shakespear) Quote
Super User Tin Posted March 3, 2008 Super User Posted March 3, 2008 A massive group of two-strokes ready to run to their favorite hole first thing in the morning. Quote
Murray Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 definatly exhaust fumes. whenever i smell a car that smells like a boat exhaust i immidiatly think about being on the water hopefully catching fish. Quote
Cigarlover 1 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I love the smell of bass after I've caught a few. If they made a candle of it I'd buy it. lol Also the mixture of ***, Chompers and JJ's in my car. When I start smelling that I know the temps are rising and it's almost time to start fishing. Quote
Bassnajr Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 A hot cup of coffee while in route on the water to that first spot, mixed with the way the water and woods on shore smell early in the morning. ajr Quote
