Default Good read

Well anglers I have 2 chapters left to read in my new book, 'Knowing Bass'.
Of course this is my first read and the second read is when I'll take notes and such.
Amazing book.
Explains the 'whys' backed by scientific research and testing.
Perfect Joe book.

Well as usual, I have to research everything and I ran across this site.
http://www.bassintips.com/bassseecolors.html

Left side under Pro tips tells you the science behind hearing, seeing etc.
Simple understandable and most important to my 'razzers', short read!
Check it out, it may answer some of your questions.

Now the reason I got to the site was wondering about the effect on bass, or any fish for that matter, that boat hull color had on fishing success.
Why you ask?

Cause the Monkey now has it's sights on a Hobie.
I'm now in the market...or so he thinks anyway.

Challenge 'YELLOW'.

If I get tricked into new, Dune is my choice.
But I don't think I'll go new if at all possible.
Vast majority of PA12s and 14s used are yellow.

Now those that have yellow swear it doesn't hinder fishing success even in shallows.
Most that have Dune say they did it mostly cause it shows nicks and scratches least.
No-one seems to have done it for 'stealth' reasons.

The yellow guys feel strongly about being visible to the 'ill mannered recreational' boat buzzing around at 50+ mph speeds.

My only concern.....will it be detrimental to fishing success.

Now Bruce, Walker, you both have non yellow.
Why?
And do you folks or anyone for that matter, fish with anyone who has yellow?
Or anyone got a yellow hobie.
What's their/your thoughts.

I've even thought of painting bottom Fishouflage. http://camoexpress.com/index.php?mai...products_id=62
or

Not ME, someone else.

So ALL input wanted!
