I think I've got it

Well I was out hunting this morning and silvania has taken over most of my duck holes. I know it's a big problem in east Texas lakes, but not sure where else. I think someone could make a little money if they could come up with a design like the camo netting or burlap for your boat or layout that looked like silvania. What do y'all think?

What got me thinking about this was the lake I hunt has come up after this last rain and all the islands are to deep to stand on. I tried hunting out of my pirogue but learned with the boat bobbing in the water flared the ducks.

I tested this by first just tying the pirogue up and letting it ride the waves up and down and every group flared. Then I took the pirogue and perched it on 2 stumps so it didn't move and the ducks started coming in. It may just be a coincidence I don't know but have never had any luck just anchored off bobbing.

The silvania mesh I think would make you blend in to where you would move like it does????
