The thing that sucks is you can have any of the stuff even in your boat when you are on a artificial lake. I have boxes full of scented and non-scented mixed together and I have been checked on mantua before for this. You cant have any powerbait in your boat, no smelly jelly, no scented lures, nothing. Even if you arent using it. Get this, years back after they poisoned it, I went up there opening day after they re-stocked it to see what the large mouth situation was. In my boat I had all my tackle. I was using plastics that were unscented, but the fish and game pulled up and asked for my liscense. I opened up the storage to get my liscense out and the two guys freaked out when they saw smelly jelly, powerbait, ect in there. Boy did it take some convincing to get off that day. It was totally innocent, I didnt think it was an issue if you werent using it.
The problem for me is that stuff is all mixed in and stored in the boat, it sucks to have to pull it all out and seperate it just to go fish for a few hours on one lake. Shoot, I have even stopped on mantua after a trip to bear lake and had cisco in the boat. Try to get out of that one. They do check, and it is serious. Too ba dhtye put trout in that lake. It was never a problem using scents before they put the trout in there.
