Candybee Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 At the market today a lady asked me if I had any fisherman's soap? I assume its soap that can wash out the smell of fish off your skin but I really don't know as I've never seen or heard of it before.Anyone know about it? Is there a special oil that acts as an odor eater you can incorporate into your soap?I ended up selling her one of my pine scented soaps. Its the strongest I have.

Georgia Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I have no idea where to get it, but I remember my DD making fisherman's soap with Anise oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 When I first heard of it, I thought it was to get the fish stink off, too. But, after doing a little research I found that the purpose is to mask the "human" smell from your hands. I found many sites selling it, and some users swear that the fish are also attracted to it somehow.One of the guys I work with says he sees it in different bait and tackle shops. I made a batch using anise, but it's still on the curing rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Interesting. I would never have guessed its for masking human scent.I bet the soap with anise will be nice. Let me know how it turned out and if you like it.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapDiva Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 It's actually a big seller for me, people LOVE black licorice. Anise actually masks human scent, so it's apparently great for hunters too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara AL Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 When I use to fish years ago we had this spray that we sprayed on our plastic worms to attract the fish and it had a licorice smell to it I would get a hit every time I sprayed the worm.Barbara AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 My son sells bait to shops fishing lakes etc. Now another idea?? He is making a killing doing this but also has a full time job as a supervisor in a food plant.He always loved to fish and got his daughters interested.Now that they are teens he decided to buy and sell bait to shops etc.On Memorial Day weekend he stopped in after delivering to a few lakes near us.He had sold over $2,000 worth of bait. Just those few days. I clicked on the fish soap link and it says not accepting orders.Also said it could take up to 2 weeks to get a order!!!!! OMG LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
