OhioFisherman Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 " used Anise oil on baits " Wow! Some of you guys are real geezers! LOL me too! I don't how much that helped, but it didn't seem to hurt, and it is still available. https://www.lurepartsonline.com/Scented-Worm-Oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeyminnow Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I’m thinking it looks like John Powers too. He used to be outdoors writer for the Toronto Star and I’m pretty sure he used to live in Beaverton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 After I have cooked my maise for carp fishing I always pour half a bottle of anise in it as it is cooling... Don't know the proof but there is nothing like a mad, drunk carp pulling your string...recipe by Photoz ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Chong Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I had quite a few great conversations with John back in the day but never had the privilege of fishing with him. He was an awesome writer. Edited December 30, 2019 by David Chong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
