Yeah! There is no courtesy at times while fishing. I fish Lilly alot. There's one individual that pulls right along side of you as soon as you get a rod bend. Same thing on the lower Housy. Been behind SIK a few times. As soon as the rod bends boats from everywhere jump on the spot.

I fish from boat and shore and can understand both points of view.

Ive caught a few decent stripers under the bridge on high tide to 2 hours in or out on Derby side. That being said I usually do fish the shelton side except for the dam. Never been that side. I have a bad back and cant do a lot of walking or rock crawling. How long a walk is the shelton side of the dam? I know its the better side but always go to Derby for convenience.

I think that a mob of fishermen is good when fishing schools of fish like white perch. When I locate a school, I try to let everyone know to head on over. The more, the merrier.

I hate it when the boaters and jet skis have to come close while you're surf fishing, whether it be on a sandbar or right at shore.

Ice fishing can be tough too when they're on their ATVs and other winter machines.
