No idea why, but my fish definitely love it. I'm going to soak my bait in garlic when I go fishing next time....

Hope hubby doesn't read your post, that stuff is way to expensive to use on the end of a fish hook :scared:
Is there any good places to go bass fishing in DFW area? We are new to tx.

Go to lake fork for the really good bass fishing. But Benbrook has great crappie. Actually in Athens Texas there is a fishery where they have some pretty cool tanks with one 18 or so pound bass. You can catch fish in almost all those lakes around there, grapevine, Lewisville (better than grapevine) really the only ones I'd avoid is lake worth.

The above lakes plus: Lake Ray Roberts north of denton is a great Bass lake. Texas Parks and Wildlife did an awesome job when they stocked it. Lake Travis and Buchanan near Austin also good bass (especially Striper) lakes

There is no better bass fishing than Lake Fork. . . .record bass get pulled out of there frequently. . . .you can catch a great deal of white bass and catfish at Richland Chambers Reservoir (i personally like this lake a lot)

I agree with Lake Fork, but that's a bit of a drive from where they are at.

I use garlic on my bait when fishing it works awesome. i use rubber worms and put a slice in them and insert a little chunk of fresh cut works better than not having it I bet the garluic extreem would work even better.

I quit using Garlic Extreme (not because of the smell) because it is really useless other then being an attractant. Here is the reason why. this is a excerpt from Beths post in the Disease and treatment forum.
Garlic is a plant with its primary ingredient, allicin, identified, at least anecdotally, as benefiting fish health and even combating certain fungal, viral, bacterial and parasitic pathogens, even serving as a type of homeopathic repellent. Saying that, the hobbyist can not make the mistake of identifying garlic as a cure-all for any fish disease. Rather, if used, it must be considered as a preventative measure, rather than a cure post-disease process; a supplement used to enhance fish health, or in addition to employing other established methods used to address fish diseases.
It is important not to use a processed product: bottled garlic. Instead, the hobbyist should use fresh garlic as identified below. [You need only buy a single garlic glove at a time, not bunches.]
Snap a single glove off of the bud. Peel off the skin. Using a non-porous container, such as a glass or Pyrex dish, and a sharp knife, mince and smash the glove, preserving the juice. Once finely minced and smashed, and the juices have been released from the garlic, quickly add meaty foods, such as fresh homemade fish food, or high-quality frozen fish foods. Lightly mix the food in with the garlic so that the food is saturated, but not swimming in garlic juice. Cover your container, and place the mixture in the refrigerator for 5 mins.
Feed your fish, preferably using a syringe or a turkey baster to ensure that fish receives the garlic supplemented food. You can add a small bit of sea water to this mixture to get the mixture into your delivery syringe.
This should be done 3x a day if you are using garlic medicinally.
Allicin is produced immediately upon mincing the garlic glove and quickly breaks down. That is why marketed bottled garlic is virtually useless and the hobbyist needs to use fresh garlic.
If you use fresh garlic it doesn't smell as strong as the Garlic Extreme and is way cheaper, I think like $.20 for for 1 bulb that has many cloves on it. There is a company that makes an item called a Garlic Card ($6) you can get online. It is basically a plastic credit card with "G"'s and "C"'s punched in it. All you do is rub a clove on it and it turns the garlic intoa pureed juice which is perfect for adding to the food. this is way easier then trying to mince it or using a garlic press.

Either way an ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure.

I'm using it as a preventative measure, just to help a little I got it free so you know. Actually I probably wouldn't use it otherwize because all my fish are hearty eaters. But got it stinks.
