Stein,
Are you using a pair of drift socks in the front of your boat to prevent wind drift of the bow?

I do get it. I fished Lake Washington ONE TIME when they had a Sockeye season. Never again.
It was a Zoo and nearly step from boat to boat crowded.
One guy, by himself on a larger boat, hooked a fish and completely left the helm to get it in. He bumped at least 4 boats while he got the fish in. There were some pissed people!
That kind of 'combat' fishing is never fun for me so I avoid it. Same with bank fishing on the rivers and off docks. If it gets that packed I bail out.

Did Drano once. Never again. It was stupid. Bank fishing in groups can be super fun. Had some great times on the white river area with some great folks who all were intent on having fun no matter how many tangles we had
