scrutch Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 When I'm wading in the river, I light a cigar. It repels a lot of mosquitoes. I try to avoid deet. I think there's something to the argument that it repels fish too. Quote

I think there's something to the argument that it repels fish too. The Cigar also insures that you will have the stretch of river you are fishing all to yourself. P.U. Quote
luger306 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Thermacell you don't have anything on you so you don't have anything on your hands,lure or line Quote
jignfule Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Supposedly Bass absoluely detest Deet and can detect it in very small concentrations...... I just caught over 60 bass the other day with DEET sprayed all over me. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 20, 2011 BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 20, 2011 Deet is the best, period. I personally tested it for a week in Alaska's mosquito infested tundra. Trust me, they won't land on you (but they'll buzz very closely). Of course, you have to apply it on EVERYTHING (don't forget your head) for it to work. 2nd best: Repel. I haven't tried thermacell, but I understand it works very well. Quote
limprod Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Use Amway bug spray, stand on your cap bill and spray the bottom of your pants and your hat not on your skin. This stuff is amazing. Quote
hatrix Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Might sound kinda weird but windex works if your in a pinch and have nothing else. It works about as good as off deep woods stuff and you have to also reapply it eventually like you do off. Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 do dryer sheets really work? i read that here in a similar thread a couple years ago...someone said rub the dryer sheet on you and then put it under your hat or stick it in a shirt pocket... Quote
