Absolutly. I've been wandering around the bay half in a daze from gas fumes. If you look at my trails on my chartplotter, I can't seem to run a straight course. The lures were impregnated with the gas smell and the fish avoided them with abandom.
I'm going to buy a half buschel of fresh alwives and put them through the grinder and make a "soup" in a 5 gallon bucket. Then I'm going to put all my lures in the bucket and let them soak overnight. This should get rid of the gas smell and help attract the rockfish. I'll then throw all my rods and lures down in the cabin and close all the windows and lock the cabin door. This should help "concentrate" the fish attractant odor on the lure.
Temperatures are headed close to 90 degrees this weekend, so that should help. I will not be able to get back on the bay until sometime next week. I'll let you know how well it works out.

Sounds like a good plan......quite a few folks need to get rid of a skunk smell.
