How do you plan on fishing...bait trailers or 100% side drifting roe?

Saw you down there today. I was the gray Raptor with a windshield that was right above you on a pass or two. Not sure how the guides do that every single day. I've never been low-holed so many times in my life. I expect some BS when going to the Cowlitz, but I had a center console Wooldridge come from upriver, bypass the 200 yards of open water above me, and swing around and drop in 30 yards behind me.  :bash:

I hope you had a good day...allot of fish were caught!  Its very busy down there this time of year especially Friday-Sun and I know what you mean by being "low holed".  This is the way  I view it and I try my best to act this way at all times...we are all there to fish and have a good time.  To me , when its that busy , being "low holed" means another boat gets between me and the boat below me that requires me to alter or stop my drift because they did not leave acceptable room.  Not everyone runs the exact same drift and yes some do "low hole: especially if they see a couple of fish caught.  I juts try to fit in where I feel I will get the best drift and not mess with anyone else drift.  I see the "bite" come on and all the boats try to hammer a hole way to close together...I juts go farther back up river where I have room and try to enjoy myself and not think to much about it.  I do not hold my boat in a hole  nor do I "short drift" a hole just because a few fish were caught...unless there is a big gap and I can slide in without causing any problems with other boats.

If I crowed you I do apologize and certainly did not do it intentionally...I assure you I try to give plenty of room all day long in the hopes of receiving the same from others.

Mark...I hope you didn't read my post as a jab at you. The one or two drifts you were below me, I slid in above you where there was room. One time a boat crowded in between us, but I just maintained my drift. I know what you mean about boats "stalling" in a hole, but that definitely wasn't you. We only made a few passes at BC, saw one fish hooked and then we moved on. Was a good day  :tup:

FYI...I pulled into the old blue creek Saturday about 3pm to ask the bankies if they would gather up the garbage bags and I would haul them out...they happily did so and I went up the entire old channel and those guys bank fishing had a good day....they had stringers of fish everywhere and I saw at  least 2 springers on the string!
