Get your light farther way from the boat
To get the light further from the boat by using a
"swimming pool noodle, or bobber"
so the boat will not spook the fish.
For example: most bass fisherman that fish at night using top water
lures use black lures, like a black Jitterbug....the darker colors show up
more to a fish looking up at the surface from below.
For this very reason I have always had a light colored boat with the
exception of the G3 boat that I had...it was charcol....my new boat is
platnum color and I have noticed that I can get in closer to bedding
areas without spooking the fish as bad with the new boat.
I am not a expert by any means and do not claim to be one....
this is just what I have noticed and what I think.
