Using scents
In my younger years when I spent much more time trolled for trout and salmon from here in New England to the Great Lakes, we always used scent on our plugs and spoons. I feel we caught more because of it. I had not fishing scent in the salt, til last fall on a headboat cod trip I start using Smelly Jelly in herring on my jigs and was high hook at the end of the day by alot. I have always had a bottle or two of herring or bunker in the surf stuff but have not used any scent on my surf fishing lures or plugs. In the surf the fish can't watch or follow the lure like trolling in freshwater. Would do you think or do you use scent in the surf?
