Went out today with my uncle and boy was it slow for us. On the water about 7:15 and off the water around 1:30

I have been a kokanee fisherman for the last 20 plus years and I have a comment here that I know will not be well received by the manufactures of bait scents and for that I apologize to you all, I mean no disrespect and my intent here is not to rain on all the research and hard work these folks have put into building their product lines because I know it can't be easy but from my stand point I have found that I just don't catch any more kokanee using these scents in a bottle than I do from simple tuna oil from the grocery store. I can't speak to whether or not it increases to bite for spring or fall chinook but I would be hard pressed to use anything but good ol tuna oil out of the can to help catch kokanee. I would appreciate hearing other comments in this regard.
I should also mention I am a walleye fisherman and there again a plain ol night crawler works just great without scent. I'm really struggling with this because I know that the scent market has really grown over the years so it must work..... right?? But personally I have not found that to be a fact. Has any one else had these results? Like any fisherman I'm always looking for an advantage to catch more fish perhaps it's the way I apply these scents that is the issue????
