Listerene works good just have to reapply very often.
Black flies(buffalo gnats), mosquitoes, biting flies, all are very irritating while fishing or doing any outdoor activity. If you ever want a change of pace go to Lake Conway and bump the cypress tree limbs, the stump gnats as I call then will swarm you, you cant breath for the cloud of them. And if that aint bad enough most of those cypress trees also have a red wasp nest the size of a basketball hanging there on the limbs that is covered by massive numbers of wasp. Piss them off and a few gnats or mosquitoes don't seem so bad.

Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

as LCG stated, they are gnats, not mosquitos. His term is "stump gnats", although others refer to them as "wood gnats". They do swarm you to death, but in fishing Conway since the 60's, I have never had one bite me.

Bet that is what I see at old town. Figured they were male skeeters since they don't bite and are bigger than typical gnats. Look like they have feathery antennae. They hatch out nightly at midway. I've seen their remains piled up 3 inches deep along the side of the boat where the wind had blown them. About 11 or so they turn in and the catfish do too.
