In response to In response to 8


  

          

Something a little different in "Boat Spook".

Me and my buddy noticed over the years that a lot of fish that follow your bait to the boat would suddenly spook and turn at the sight of the boat. We put together an old Bass Attacker aluminum boat for specifically fishing the rivers around us (Jet). We completely gutted the boat and rebuilt it the way we wanted it. The one thing my buddy wanted to do was paint the boat camo. He thought by painting the boat camo it would keep from spooking a lot of those fish in the low, clear water conditions we were fishing. He was right! Our hook-up ratio went up at least 50% on those followers.

I would not believe this if I had not experienced it first hand. Fish would follow the bait all the way to the boat and strike right when you were getting ready to take the bait out of the water. We found this to be true on Bass, Stripers, Salmon, and Trout. It may not be the prettiest boat, but it sure catches the fish!
