In extremely clear water, I have had fish move under the boat and then either come out from under after I thought they were gone, or they hit the bait from under the boat. I have seen this on numerous occasions with different colored hulls... Red, Silver, Black, blue, etc.
What I find fish scare from is movement from above. Move too quickly in your figure 8, especially on clear water, the fish will bolt.
Heck...sometimes I think these fish are so dumb I wonder how they survive. I once saw a fish that was literally 2 inches away from a slow/no wake buoy, facing it of all things, on a lake that has absolutely no current in it. The buoy was in a bay and put out by the lake association to help curtail shoreline erosion.

| If bright colors scare them off I have to remove one half of my baits from my tackle box!!! Changing to all natural colors. Now watch my catch rate soar!!! |

| BadgerPat, I don't think flashy hulls scare fish, but I do think you should help folks make and offer an informed opinion; to do this, you ought to share a picture of the boat you're looking at. To help you out, I attached the pic you sent me...

Location: Sun Prairie, Wisconsin | Slight difference between the size of your baits and the size of your boat... But then again...I wasn't really asking about baits. Question asked, Question answered.

| Dont think color matters, but I have seen a difference in boatside strikes fishing out of bass boat vs a deep V in very shallow clear water in spring. The deep V seemed to cause them to put the brakes on, perhaps because im not sure there is enough room for them to slide underneath in the skinny water we occasionally fish. |
