Steve, I think that was the US Navy that did the study, been a while since I
read bout the study.
If I remember correctly Yum Yum Yellow was the most popular color and black
was the most unpoular color for attracting our sharped toothed friends and
yes they are friends, just like people some just have a bad attitude. I've
been bumped by a couple and been in a feeding frenzey with a couple, of
course I was in the kayak and they were  in the water.
