This does not work all the time but has increases my catch rate enough times that its worth a try when things go slow.

i would think that the smell of that marker would transmit to the water and keep fish away.....i always believed that although they see very well, that smell was thier 2nd strongest sense in that crystal clear water.....believe me, i'm not sure i am right, its just what i would think. I have been known to be wrong a time or two....lol!!
