I tried it once, and it didn't work all that great on the boat, I think it's because the boat is in constant motion, therefore the "scent trail" was'nt allowed to go straight up and hover,you were always in front of it.

I use mine steady until a few hard frosts get rid of the skeeters.

When in the boat I have two, one on each side of me and it work pretty good as most the time I am moving slowly for bass.

Never tried it on a boat but when hunting? Absolutely! Or when working, or lounging around the outside? Absolutely!

I love mine...every now and then a brave misquito will decide to come in anyway for a drinkbut not too often. IMO they are worth the $$$ considering not having to worry about the the spray getting on your hands, bait, etc.

Hi,

Last year my brother and I both took our's while fishing in Canada. For the most part they worked great, We were jigging for walleye or casting for pike. The guys that didn't have them were hattin life.
