Ok so i got some NO-BS Fish Oil and it doesnt really remind me of fish? is this normal or should it be a really strong fish smell like rotted fish juice? I got this at the rendezvous trapping event

Try some of Bob Jameson’s trout oil

No, it should not smell like rotten fish.

ok it says it mild smelling on the bottle

Probably a pressed oil instead of a rendered oil. I find that the pressed oil works fine. You might use more per set but remember those animals can smell stuff a lot better than you.

its probably pressed

I make my own deadly fish oil.
I eat a lot of sardines and pan fry fish once in a while.
I collect all the oil from the sardines and all the strained oil when I pan fry fish and keep it in jars in the freezer all summer.
In fall I use it in various applications for trapping in the late fall and early winter.
Fish oil has no value when it gets cold around 25 below.

How do you make it? would chubs work?

Google this....."Trapperman how to make fish oil"

ok i will

He tells u how he makes it

I just told you how I make it.

how do you collect the oil?

Open the sardine can and pour off the excess oil into a container. Eat the sardines and then pour off any additional oil into the container. When frying fish and after eating it and before the wife cleans the kitchen pour off the oil and any other stuff from the skillet into the sardine container. Keep in the frig till trapping
Season.

Fish oil is a work of art. Newt Sterling had the best Fish Oil bar none! I bought some from Bill Bailey from New Hampshire. So far so good. If you find Away to make good fish oil sun rendered or pressed Kudos to you!

Didn't you live in PA last week?
