what kinda insect repellant would you guys use if you were gonna go fishin?
we got mosquitoes bad around here and there are so many brands to choose from i just dont know what to buy.
i got offwoods max but i think the insecticide in it might be too strong to use on Alexys.
any suggestions would be appreciated.

We always look for something with DEET in it - the more the better.
I was on a fly in trip in Canada one year - on a lake with no electric, power, running water, etc. One of the guys on the trip convinced us to use skin so soft for insect repellent. Four guys - no showers for a week, smell like camp fire, fish, and BO. But we smelled pretty with that skin so soft. After a couple of days, I switched to my insect repellent with DEET though. It worked better than the skin so soft.

I just picked up some repel with 100% deet in it. Walmart sells it. I usually only get 40% and it works good. I figured 100% I wont have to reapply it again

I couldn't find much about milsurp bug juice online so from my experience, the green bottle stuff is great. If you can find it.
Be warned: It melts optical plastic, synthetic clothes, plastic gun stocks and wood stock finishes, red Swiss knife handles and many paints.
