Does Fishing Boat Color Matter

There is a superstition amoung bass fishermen about fishing out of a red
boat. Supposedly it scares off fish, but it sounds like a lot of hooey to
me.

Hi,
I am having a boat shipped to me and at first the color I had chosen
was an aluminum color (light grey). However, when I saw the off white
model
of the boat I thought.. man. that is a beautiful boat. My boat will
mainly
be used to take me and my boys fishing. I've noticed that some boats have
dark hulls and some have white. For fishing in all honesty does it matter
what color the bottom of your boat is?

Don't tell that to Warren!

I've been told by someone somewhere that the color green is one the fish
like...I have way too much time to work on my boat so I have polished the
Aluminum sides and bottom of my jetboat to a mirror finish...I have a Green
paint job on the top half of my boat....Plugging or back bouncing with a
20ft long flasher in front and the action is outstanding...I also anchor up
in a foot of water and start fly fishing for Sock-eye and I have lots of
hits right beside the boat..gord p
