I wonder if the Amber Romance would work on the little biting gnats we have up here.

Get you a cheap bottle of vanilla extract, and a spritzer bottle from wal mart. Spray the extract on straight. Have to reapply every few hours, but no more gnats. All for less than 5 bucks.

Swisher Sweet Cigars. I don't smoke, but I do while I'm in the marsh... Like Bill Clinton, I don't inhale.

My wife has informed me that she'd prefer to place the order for Amber Romance from Victoria's as she'd rather I not be getting all the follow-up emails with the scantily clad women.

But first, I thought I'd ask if the gnat issue is expected to continue into June, or is it a seasonal thing? We usually make our LA fishing trip in June, and I don't recall a gnat thing the past few trips. I do remember lots of bugs growing up, but I can't recall which months had which bugs. Did we just get lucky last year with respect to the bugs?

Also, what precautions are needed with respect to the Amber Romance and keeping live shrimp alive? (I'm religious about keeping other bug repellents and sunscreens out of the bait well.) Would the vanilla extract be better with respect to not contaminating live bait?

One thing I love about Colorado is the absolute absence of bugs and snakes in the mountains.

I would say the vanilla would be better for live bait since it is non toxic. Not saying the Vic Secret stuf is toxic, but it has dyes and perfumes and such in it. Just my 2 cents.

Default Thanks guys

Seems the amber romance is the best bet. Looked on the Victoria's Secret website and there are lots of amber romance fragrances. Does it matter if it is a spray or lotion. Any advice on which one to choose? If I am going to smell like a stripper, I at least want to be using the right smellum.

Thanks again.

Wife just picked up some "Amber Romance" for me...

Cost me $50.00, because if you buy six other items its "cheaper" that way !!!

Hope this stuff works

I heard of a new concoction yesterday for gnats, mosquitoes and all the other biting buggers. Put one half Listerine, the brown kind, and one half vanilla in a spray bottle. I sprayed some on myself and didn't notice any bugs, but it was really windy, so I'm not sure if it was the spray or the wind keeping the bugs away.

Pepsi Cola smells, appears, and tastes similar to Coca-Cola, but it is not Coca -Cola. I suppose that is why someone came up with the Coke/Pepsi challenge. We think you should try the baitshop/panty store challenge: $12 a bottle Amber Romance (dont forget the wonderful trip to your local teenage daycare , oops, i mean local mall) versus $8 a bottle swamp swatter in the marina .at the launch. It has been done by many of our retailers; spray one arm with panty store stuff, spray other arm with Swamp Swatter and you be the judge.

Here's another test: pour amber romance out on one plate and swamp swatter out on a seperate plate, leave both plates out for 10-15 minutes, you will begin to see swamp swatter begin to oxidize, amber romance will remain the same. We dont have access to all the fancy dies and chemicals that they do over in china. Swamp Swatter is hand made in Baton Rouge, LA, is by far the absolute best remedy for gnats and no-seeums.

Mal-Wart was interested in stocking Swamp Swatter last May (2012). We politely said, "No Thank you."
