Fishing Passes and Cuts

[Bayou Uber]

Question for the Board. When you are fishing a cut or a pass (navigational channel), do you expect other boats to idle past you or just run on top?

its it up to them. polite thing to do is idle by if not a shallow entrance. When fishing a channel expect boats to run by.

I personally would rather have people run past. That's less time they are in the area I'm fishing. I know when I'm fishing there, that the cut is used for travel. Just keep on going.

I'd rather they run on top than slow half way down and wake the h3ll out of me.

Unfortunately their is alot of ignorant folks out there who have no idea about common sense or boating courtesy. I'm with Ibtsoom.

I tend to think the ignorant folks out there are the ones that anchor up in a navigation gut/cut and don’t expect to get the h311 waked out of them. Sorta like a guy in a kayak using an entrance At paddling speed when he only needs 6” of water anyway.

No mercy.

I make figure 8's around them. Then pull up and ask "Ya catchin' any?" Maybe drop my anchor 15 feet away and ask "Is this a good spot?".

I agree with JT. Certainly anyone has the right to fish wherever, but if your parked in the boat lane than you should expect people to run by you.

Bingo!
