If you're gonna be an inshore fisherman, you better pack bug repellant for EVERY trip, they start at the ankles and work their way up......no-see-ums; flys, mosquitoes, whatever.....just like Sunscreen, it's part of the package especially in Redfish habitat.

KEEP AN OCCASSIONAL RED HERE AND THERE FOR DINNER, BUT FOR
THE REST, PRACTICE HEALTHY CATCH & RELEASE TECHNIQUES
SAVE SOME FOR THE FUTURE!

Get a Thermocell. They work, they are only about $30, they will keep you from getting eaten up on the grass flats. I've got ONE for my 17' boat and it really cuts down on the bug bites.

I have a friend that swears that Listerine in a spray bottle is the best repelent he has ever used.  Sprays it on himself and on the boat.  Any one ever tried it??

I think that was our grandfather and pretty sure it was whiskey.

Have to test this one.  Sounds like it might work.  I absolutely hate the way bug repellents smell and avoid using them unless there is no other option!!!
