Article: Not-so-sweet smell of success Angler concocts garlic fish attractant.

CAMERON, N.C. - Fishermen have long turned to fish attractants to get more bites, and Randy Jones is no different. But when the status quo wasn't pungent enough, he took matters into his own hands.

Now, he hopes to get stinking rich off his sauce.

In the morning, when Jones first goes into the "lab," one of two shed-like structures in his backyard, he flips on an industrial fan aimed out the propped door.

The smell of garlic is so thick - having built up overnight - that he heads back into his house and has a cup of coffee before returning.

"It'll just about knock you down," he said.
