The report says,
“Widespread use by players
of such substances unfairly
disadvantages the honest
athlete who refuse to use
them and raises questions
about the validity of base

“The illegal use in baseball of
these substances also victim

who don’t use them ... many
former players ... believe it
was grossly unfair that the

It’s always been obvious to
me that steroid use was all
about individual choice, how
one guy can keep his career
going wherever it is. When
they say ‘widespread use,’
they don’t necessarily mean
that all the members of one
team got together, decided to
shoot up and stomped all the
way to the World Series.
Conclusion: The ‘honest
athlete’ and the ‘user’ were
often sitting right next to
each other in the same dug
out.
But then there is this com
ment from Fehr: “Many play
ers are named. Their repu
tations have been adversely
affected, probably 'forever. ”
How about the forever
adverse affect on baseball
itself, Donald? If anyone can
find a comment from this
guy that does denounce the

How to use scented baits
to catch cold water bass
After seeing what I have
while fishing thousands of
days in hundreds of tourna
ments across the country,
I know that scented baits
catch more fish. It’s no
secret, really, and nowadays
pretty much every angler
uses scented baits to his or
her advantage.
This time of year, with
the water rapidly cooling
in most parts of the coun
try, slowly fishing scented
baits are be the answer for
coaxing lethargic bass into
eating. But with the glut
of new scented products
on the market all vying for
your dollars, anglers need
to become familiar with the
subtleties and limitations of
these baits if they hope to
catch more fish.
Nearly everyone that
uses scented baits has their
own ideas and techniques
on how best to use them.
But before you cast one into
your favorite lake or pond,
there’s one word to keep in
mind: slow.
To maximize the effec
tiveness of scented baits
you have to fish the bait
.very slow. Whether you
catch fish for a living or
just for fun, you have to
have a minimum amount of
patience and this is where it
will pay off.
By filling the area with
scent, fish that wouldn’t
normally pay attention to
the bait (remember most
bass spend 75-80 percent of

their time in an inactive or
non-feeding mode) will be
drawn in. That’s why I like
to rig my drop-shot rigs with
scented baits. By dangling
a bait in the same place
for long enough time, I can
fill the area with scent and
attract bass that I might not
be able to attract otherwise.
By releasing so much scent
into the area, the bait dra
matically increases the size
of the strike zone mean
ing you don’t have to worry
about putting the bait in
front of a fish for it to be
effective.
During this time of year,
once the bass have left shal
low coves and boat docks
and other ambush areas for
deeper water, you can fish
on a drop shot or a jig and
allow the bait to work for
you. Once you’ve located
fish with your electronics or
areas like depth changes or
brush piles that are likely
to hold bass, the bait will
work to draw fish in that
are seeking to feed.
