I take a can of white corn open it and drain out all the water and then squirt the shrimp/anis oil in and throw it in the fridge
is it wrong to be turned on by an icehole?

Usually soak my smelt in a brine including Herring oil, Northerns seem to love it. I get it at Sportsmans.

one of the best all around scents I have found is the Mikes Atlas glow shrimp oil.  I use it on everything from kokes to perch to lakers.  Heck its even good on baloney sandwhiches...ok maybe not. ::)

MOST scents contain anise as an ingredient.  If it smells like black licorice, its got anise in it.
If I\'m not fishing, I\'m probably thinking about fishing...And if I\'m thinking about fishing, I\'m probably not getting much else done so, I might as well go fishing...Yeah, I just said that!
