That camo works for me. Fire up the motor, let's go! (Westley Hargrave photo.)
I’m not talking about the Real Mossy stuff for duck boats, I’m talking about camo that actually makes you harder to find on the water. (I am a safety nut with two little kids, so don’t jump all over me for that.)
Two things got me here:
1. I was driving to the office today in some serious fog, and out of the fog comes a grey car, no lights on. That got me thinking about…
2. …the time I fished with a guy on Erie (or was it Ontario?) who had a gray boat. Fugly. I asked him why, and he said because it was harder for guys to find him in a tourney and thereby fish the bent rod pattern.
So then I thought in this age of garishly loud decaled, painted and upholstered bassin’ boats, why not boat camo? Meaning something that would make it hard for other people to follow you, the biggest stick on your pond.
Surely our brethren in the good ol’ US Navy have thought of this? Well, here you go. I’m thinking about letting my daughter paint a bunch of ducks on the side of mine….
Uh...we can still tell it's a boat. A ship!
Even the ones far away look like...ships. (Click to see bigger.)
Modern art?
Works, but what bassin' techniques could you use? Dropshot?
This actually might be the most effective, if you could camo the outboard and yourself.

What? No Klingon-like cloaking devices yet?

Extra bonus geek points for combining bass fishing with Star Trek! Nice. What about camouflage with regard to the bass below? Would that even make a difference with them?
