Fish Don’t Bite?

Yes, there are times when scent is used but
without success although fishes are around.
As mentioned earlier scent also can act as a
deterrent. Some scents could cause fish to
turn away and be wary. This happens when
the scent used is something that the fishes
in the waters that you are fishing in are not
used to. Instead of attracting them the scent
turns on their guard and they shy away.
