Re: Can smoking seriously damage your fishing?
I have often heard that you should never wash your hands with soap before fishing. I do believe this as with some soaps you can smell for hours after you use them and as fish have an unbelievable sense of smell they may pick up the scent easily. As for cigerates I dont know, I have seen heavy smokers catching fish in large numbers on many occasions so I wouldnt read too much into it to be honest.

The finest gift you can give a fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

i smoke and to be honest i seem to catch more fish after a trip to a petrol station aswell so yes your flamin BONKERS
in fact i always catch more fish than my mates that dont smoke
i,m not saying you should take up smokin but maybe bring a dirty ashtay to soak your baits in?
,,,, like when I used to smoke years ago I once remember holding the rod , getting a bite swapping the rod to the hand with the cigarette to adjust the tensioner only to watch my line shoot through the rings after burning through the line

... you haven't fished and smoked until you've done this a least once !
