Just wondering if you are careful about your position in relation to the sun, and do you try to where any certain color of clothes so your'e not quite so visible?Thanks MuskeeMike

I prefer to cast away from the sun - easier to see the weedlines and structure (although it does create a larger shadow), but this may not be possible due to wind or approach. When trolling, I don't care where the sun is and haven't found it makes a whole lot of difference. (Wind direction and intensity is more important.)

I tend to stay away from flourscent clothing... easy for the fish to see, and doesn't exactly make the greatest fashion statement (hee hee) when on the water. Other than that rule, I'll dress appropriate to the weather and not worry about it. (Not very scientific, but I don't believe it is an issue for the most part.)

Mike,

I don't really put much thought into what I'm wearing for the day, I wouldn't recomend wearing real bright colors though, I fish stained water most of the time and it does not matter.
As far as the sun goes, I don't like fishing with the sun at my back, this puts a huge shadow on the water and I think it can spook fish.

On stained water I tend to not pay much attention to my clothing color, on clear water I try to wear white/grey or lighter colored shirt for two reasons.

1. It's cooler on a hot summer day
2. I believe it's more fish friendly and maybe less apt to spook them. Even if it's B.S. I have confidence in it and that's all that really matters.
