Okay, being a chef for life has something to do with this.
As I swim I am always taking a little water into my nose. I have noticed as I cruise over and through different types of weed beds , bass beds, clear water and near wooded shores I can smell the difference underwater.
I also know now that I have allergies to some sea weeds...
The other day I could smell the Bass before I reached them... there they were , about five feet down ,just suspended a foot over their dished out beds.
Some weed beds smell so strong I want to hold my nose.:fish2:
I wonder if we have some electric receptors like pike do that we don't know about.

I swim in La Jolla Cove and every so often I smell a "stinky fish" smell. I always figured it was a seal swimming nearby.
