Default Color

Just was wondering if any one has any points of view on the type of color you wear while bow fishing? I noticed at the state shoot, I got busted a lot while I was wearing a bright yellow cajan shirt. I know when I use to bass fish, my dad had a rule that you wore dark clothes. I have been wondering if the opposite is true. A light shirt to blend with the sky. I know those cool shirts that Ken wears would have no effect, other that put them in a trance. Just wondering.

I've decided that I do best when I wear light shirts when my background is a light sky. White, light blue. I've decided that yellow and red are not good.

If I'm sneaking along shore where there's a lot of brush behind me, I like camo-ish colors.

On the other hand, we've 'snuck' up on grass carp by pushing over/through log jams with the pontoon boat in flooded timber with the fan on full throttle. How those fish don't see or hear us coming I don't know.

Actually I think Kens nice team shirts are totally cool. i'm jealous. I do agree with christine, that on a day shoot light clothing has to be better. Movement has to be an issue as well. I have never shot on a fan boat, but sure have wondered how you could possibly sneak up on any fish. You can hear one for a very long ways. and water transmitts sound way better than air. But obovously they work.

Yea, I'm thinking hot pink is not too common out in the great outdoor's especially in a boat. Unless it is a male carp.
