An apparatus that attaches to the exterior hull of a watercraft is designed to prevent the sound of waves slapping against the side or bottom of the watercraft while fishing. The apparatus comprises a baffling panel arranged along the hull at water line. A plurality of elastic cords, each having hooks, are each affixed to perimeter edges of the baffle panel which connect the apparatus to the watercraft being connected to the upper side of the watercraft. The apparatus can be placed at the front or along any side or rear surface of the watercraft. During use, the watercraft is positioned so that the apparatus faces oncoming waves. Thus, as the waves break against the hull of the watercraft, the wave action is absorbed by the apparatus rather than the large surface of the watercraft, and any resultant sound is suppressed.
