Yep ... you think the shoreline fishing is bad ... the boats are worse ... I've been fishing off there from a boat and seen 37'+ boat pull between a pod of blitzing fish and the guys on the rocks ... surprised he put his boat in jeopardy from the rocks ... the guys on the shore did not attack him either.

But I have been fighting fish and had boats run right over my line to squeeze me away from the blitzing fish ... it's one of the worst nightmares I have ever experienced in fishing crowds ...

The good thing is often the boats will chase the pods of blitzing fish down the coast, but typically some fish stay behind and pop up once everyone drives away.

Crazy stuff ... just have to pick your drifts so you can try to avoid the crowds while still giving plenty of room to the beach guys.
