Smelly jelly or not

[Loghauler]

Does smelly jelly make the difference between getting salmon or not all other things being equal ?

We all have a preference but scent makes a difference.

Like getting skunked kinda difference?

Slight difference. But a bunch of slight differences all added up. Could be few extra fish at the end of the year.

commercial guys use a product to clean their gear of human smell. L-serine on humans repels all fish. If you could keep gloves on always, or put a coating of some other smell on the hands, it should help catch more fish. Anise, garlic, sardine, krill could be choices.

I find it just gums up my gear and have never really noticed a difference using it. That’s just me though

A squirt inside a turd seems to help for Hali trolling. So does a slice of anchovy.on the hook.
I need to remember to wash that gear before storing, otherwise the stinky mess spreads everywhere.

Awesome answers guys ! Tried my luck and found it lacking lol so next time out to ukee will apply some science of stink to increase chances
Was incredible to play on the big pond FYI small boats without electronics and fog don’t mix well glad I turned around at the green sea can
Next time will at least app my phone for safety sake or get electronics

No. YOU be safe!

Too many rocks around there and they don't all have kelp for warning you. Phones are tricky when the waves come splashing. Get a mounted GPS/sounder and put the phone in a watertight container for backup.

Safety first for sure ! That’s why I turned around and this forum is awesome been reading for a few years now and that’s how I knew to turn around plus a small bit of common sense lol
Wouldn’t want to risk someone’s life to have to find me

I have used different scents when I was commercial trolling and really gave it a honest try but at the end of the year I threw it in the garbage.

Isn’t there a Charlie white video of him putting a spoon or something in the bilge and then catching a fish on it. But on the other hand I remember my uncle trolling and was on medication or ointment and didn’t catch a fish on his side and partner did until he wore gloves then he caught fish so who knows

 

[Rain City]

I rub a little on my hands when I start fishing to try and mask other smells.
