Not sure how much I buy into the old captain's or diver's theories. Maybe if you are fishing in ten feet of water. If blackfish are really turned off by the sounds from metal boats how do you explain the fact that plenty of them have consistently put up great catches for many years, Ocean Explorer, J II, Dauntless, Norma K to name just a few.
I used to spearfish a bit and blackfish are not even that spooked by a human swimming up to them with a speargun in hand. Just my observation.
