You smell the bait getting eaten, or more likely the oil of the bait getting eaten.

I'd rather be fishing!

Its a great scent isn't it? I love cruising along and suddenly that smell hits you. Never catch anything, but I love the smell of fish.

This is so funny, I read this last night before heading out. Doing a little memory recall when reading it thinking to myself yeah I remember instances like that. Anyway I am at a spot and took several casts nadda, moved over a little bit fairly close to where I had laid a fish on the rocks that I was taking home for the table 2 nights previous and now I'm smelling striper. I think nah couldn't be as hard as it rained yesterday. A couple of casts later I hooked up.

What scent??

I have been told by at least one old timer that the smell is almonds.
I have have one or two instances of a sweet smell on a calm night
that was closer to anisette. Lasts only a mimute or two and I
believe it is chewed up bait rather than Stripers, or maybe a combination. Anyone else able to put a recognizable scent to it.
Okay, Sambucca, Drambuie etc etc.
