We were clueless honestly. I guess they can smell in parts per billion. So if you are handling the bait with your bare hands they won’t touch it. Maybe we were handling our lures and getting our stinky Man-scent on them?? 🤔 Lol. Good news was we weren’t the only ones.
I am not much of either. I am just getting into salmon fishing and soon going to be doin’ some huntin’. My Dad and brothers ruined me at an early age. ADD/ADHD Don’t set well when you are sitting in a duck blind freezing, or sitting in a boat not catching fish. “Yep, this is dumb!! I have better things to do” Now a days I have no problem just taking a chill pill and relaxing. So little by little I am getting more involved in hunting and fishing
Ah yeah, those fish are sneaky. Well, it's about the fun of it also I guess, the camaraderie etc.
It's good to see you're starting to get into things like this though, it always pays to keep things interesting and to reinvent oneself. Life is too short to get stuck in a rut.
Try something new and learn something new. My brother would always get mad when we would shoot clays.... “Why the hell don’t you duck hunt??!!!” Lol. I guess I am a pretty good shot with a 12 gauge. Lol
I agree, it's good to open oneself up to learning; Having that habit is beneficial and can make a huge different in many aspects of life.
