Headed down yesterday only had a chance to fish 1.5 hours due to the knats! they were horrific and my wife wasn't having it. Managed to catch a nice mess, if I could have stayed until dark I believe I'd have had half a box!

Nice looking box of fish Matt, y'all did good. Gnats are worst than a nagging woman and I can live without both.

Nice fish! I know I will get some flack about this but get you some "Amber Romance" cream from Victoria Secret and put it on and the gnats will leave you alone, they hate this stufff! A buddy and myself were working offshore and the gnats were terrible. I put the cream on and my buddy refused to b/c he wasn't wearing that stuff! Well needless to say, withing an hour he was searching for the cream too. This stuff works!
I don't care how sweet or girly it'd make me smell, its better than looking like I went a few rounds with Tyson and scratching like I have fleas! LOL
Nice catch. I keep a bottle of spray and a thermocell in my tackle bag. At least we don't have no see ums down here. Those bugs are brutal.
No doubt, if you can't find it, vinalla extract works also. This way you smell like a cake!
They were bad yesterday
Skin so soft lotion works to. I'm glad I read this thread so now I'll remember to put my mosquito net in the boat for tomorrow. I know they are thick in the swamp right now. I like using the net over my head so I won't swallow so many.
A gal at work had some Amber Romance lotion she said I can have! I'll try it out
Nice mess of fish..Thanks for the pictures and report..
Amber Romance definately works!!!
It does! I used it yesterday and had a few gnats that bit me but only a few as in 3-4! Thanks for the tip guys!
I was fixing to tell him to get the victoria secret amber romance.. It probably wouldn't bother his wife at all to wear it and he can probably live with it for a fishing trip. and congrats on the catch Matt. Glad y'all were able to get some before the bugs ran y'all off.
