Anyone ever tried to Cammo a black suit??

I also agree that skill is the most important thing out there. I have also not noticed a huge difference in my ability to sneak up on fish, or to lay in a crack and wait, either. But i do know that most hunters in nature are cammoed. Be it a harbor seal with is grey and black spots to a great white with its grey top and white belly or an octopus or a rockfish or a halibut. So in nature things spend alot of energy trying not to be seen. Whether that applies to us is a different story. But it makes me feel good and i love DIY projects.

true, true, the camo pattern put out by picasso "camu" seems to make alot of sense, as does a new grey blotch pattern being newly released by Immersion- If not mistaken

I saw a link on another page in the forum that talked about the recognition skills of the fish.
It questioned how relevant camo really was. Fish were intrigued by four-limbed gangly black objects and came in for a look. What they got more scared of were eyes.
Its all about what they are commonly predated by. I think they are wary of eyes because of seals etc.
If someone has the link, post it here.

Could something be done to hide your eyes a bit better? Some sort of mask cover maybe?

In my experience (SCUBA mostly) fish only seem wary of sudden movements and when you look directly at them.
