I

remember the first time I used
something to attract fish to take my
bait. I cycled to the sundry shop
near my place and bought a bottle
of Seven Seas fish oil, not for eating
because I hated fish oil, but for fishing. The thought process was simple. Fish comes for the bait because
it smells something it wants to eat.
I was much, much, much younger
then and that was how I analysed
things.

Well, those oiled filled capsules
worked sometimes and sometimes
they didn’t. So I put one and one
together thought perhaps fishes are
like humans and variety is key. So I
tried other fishy things as a means
of attracting fish. Of course I didn’t
know what I know now although
they go along the same lines.
