I have been fishing since i was just a young boy and love it. Also love the chill time on the water between fish. I love guided trips and charters for the learning experience and a great chance at catching a trophy bass .

Nares, or paired nostrils, in a fish are used to detect odors in the water. These nostrils can be very sensitive to smell so it is a good idea for an angler to remove any scents from their hands before handling a lure, bait, or line. The oils from your skin, gasoline, sunscreen, and even that turkey sandwich can leave a scent on your hands that can be picked up by a fish. By washing your hands with scentless soap, you can wash away that smell and have a better chance of not being detected. If only you're fishing buddy didn't smell so bad...
