boat

Paint it a bright color like Blaze Orange or Hot Pink. The portion you are
referring to is typically called a "hull".
This isn't a joke either, rumor has it bright colored boat bottoms and side
help keep bass from jumping. Which if your in a tournament is a good thing.
I was told that Pro's enjoyed fishing out of the Kellogs boat because the
bass didn't jump as much.

Regardless of what color you paint it on somedays it will stand out on some
days as weather, water clarity, and depth of the fish all have an impact on
what the fish see's. An old timer who owned a lot of boats told me that he
caught more fish out of a red boat than any other color. He fished the same
couple of lakes for years and used that as his gauge, luckily I like red

I'm planning on building a cajun sneak boat. I want to use it for a
fishing
situation in a small shallow bay. What is the optimal colour to paint the
submerged portion so it doesn't scare the fish ? It's a nice starter
project.
