Hey smallmouth89,
Fishing on waters with traffic can be an exciting proposition. Close encounters are common - boaters, waterskiers and the rest of the power crowd don't see small little fishcraft very easily, and they can get rather close. So, what ever you can do to create more visiblity is definately a good thing. Bright blaze orange PFDs or anything that stands out on the water would be recommended - if you could surround yourself with a dozen or so beautiful bikini clad supermodels that would probably do the trick too - just to insure you would be seen that is.
I personally have gotten into the habit of fishing in more shallow waters or right against the rocks where the power people stay at least a few more feet away. When I venture forth into the deeper water, I basically take my chances and hope for the best. If you have a surface to surface missle system you can mount on your craft, that might be an option as well.
Good luck out there and try to be seen !
