yeah well, make sure you tell me where that spot is if you kill ducks
In NW Washington many of the tide flats in the pays are owned in popular hunting areas. The ones that pay taxes on the flats typically own to the mean tide or 0.0.
We have an area we like to hunt as well but the land owner decided they did not like hunting off their property. We checked and found they own the land to the low water line so a boat cannot anchor. The game warden is called often and you can not get out of your boat or anchor on there land.No dogs either so if your bird lands on there property to bad. I do not hunt this area anymore after I learned no more anchoring. I did consult our local gamey and he confirmed the information we learned. I still have friends that hunt the area but it's not worth it to me.

Even on the puget sound, many people are misinformed about what they actually own and what the rights are. I am a nitpicker on following the rules, but on a river like the columbia I wouldn't hesitate to hunt any spot that was described as the OP did. From boat below the high water mark you are good to go.
