Night Fishing Knats

Does anyone have problems with bugs when night fishing?

Is there a kind of light to buy that does a really good job of keeping them away?

How do you deal with the bugs when night fishin?

My mom told me abou this stuff and I was totally against it, until we went fishing one nite and I got "lit up" and she was having a blast catching fish. Its called Skin-so-Soft, yeah it doesn't smell "Man-ish" by any means, but it gets the job done well.

What about when you need lights on to see... I know that attracts bugs but does the skin so soft work good for that two...?

use atherma cell, it will keep a bug free radius of 15' in all directions around it! works great.

thremocell it works also if you are using a latern colman makes a yellow/amber glass lens. it replaces stock glass lens and it works to some degree-still draws some bugs not all. thermocell is what i personly use. i dont use a latern in the boat. i like to black out at night unless buy law i crank up the big moter and chasing jugs with a spot light.

get a black light, it hardly attracts anything. Use a head lamp when retieing. Skin so soft is good, but don't use it during the day it's a oil type stuff, and will fry you.

The Story Behind Skin So Soft Is So Funny I Think. Avon Was Trying To Make A New Kind Of Perfume, So They Developed Skin So Soft. Turns Out It Doesnt Smell So Good, But They Did Find Ou That It Chased The Bugs Away I Think That That Is Funny. From A Perfume To A Bug Repellant. Lol

It also happens to be one of the best bug and tar removers I've ever used. Don't believe me, then try it on your tar on your car. I can assure you it's the stuff that has a thousand uses probably. And tar is no contest loser to this stuff.

On the black light, don't forget your flourescent line. Talk about a very cool thing to see while fishing. Your line lights up like a rope. You can see it better than you can in the day.
