100% DEET and recently picked up a Coleman mosquito head net for the annoying ones that always manage to buzz their way through your ear and into your brain lol.

And just to add, pick up a headlamp with a redlight or UV light setting. That alone will cut down on the amount of bugs around you. On a bad night, 5 seconds with a regular LED headlamp on is torture.

Cover up as much as possible (long pants, long sleeves, and a cap). Apply bug spray to the cap and cuffs near exposed skin. The more DEET in the bug spray, the more effective it will be. Unfortunately DEET is not very good for you, so avoid applying it directly to your skin and spray it on clothing, unless the mosquitoes are exceptionally thick.
And don't eat bananas before night fishing. Seriously. For some reason, it attracts mosquitoes.

Re: what do u guys use for skeeters at nite?
I think it releases the chemicals into the air in a 15 foot diameter around the unit. I would venture to guess it can be harmful to any fish caught and brought out of the water to remove hooks, etc. but I could be wrong.
Here is the warning on the product. This product is toxic to fish, shrimp and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Drift may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
