I think I will have a depiction of a shad ball added to the bottom of my boat.

Thanks 200racing best Idea all day :) 

In Doug Hannon's book "Big Bass Magic", the paperback book distributed by In-Fisherman Inc., Page 113, quote, "From the largemouth's  point of view, a red metalflake bass boat is about as subtle as a Hawaiian shirt at an actuarial convention.  That's why my boat is a camouflage pattern of browns, grass greens and touch of sky blue.  I've often had big bass run into the side of my boat, probably because they figured it was a weedbed!"   Unquote. 

 

I still haven't done that to mine, but it is something I want to try.  Hope that helps.

Wow!  I've been out in Puget Sound and watched the Orcas and it was really cool.  I didn't get to see anything like this though.  :smiley:

Mine is white. I don't fish vertical bass so it does not matter to me. No way a bass is seeing my boat from 20-30 feet away in the muddy miss.

Ok fellow fishermen after reading the ideas,  I am thinking of painting it in a camouflage with the colors that Rambler shared :)  When I am done painting it I will post the photo in my gallery under the, " Coleman Crawdad restoration" album :) I like the cloud pattern that," 200racing" sent :)  Yes," senile1" cool video and thanks," slonezp" for sharing:)
