I agree. Once was fishing schoolers up shallow on the nearby river in April in Florida. Did well, caught about 30 bass in 4 hours, 1-2 every 15 minutes when they would bust the surface. My boat was about 15 yards offshore when a pontoon boat cut between me and the shore. I was pretty ticked, but soon realized that the bass stayed on schedule after that. I think that on high traffic fisheries, fish are so used to seeing hulls and the amount of sound in the water that they get used to it and it doesn’t bother them more than a short time, and running boats aren’t a threat. I think they are more bothered by changes in sounds than consistent sound, like when a boat gets loud then stops instead of one just driving by.
Great video!!!! I agree 100% with you!! Those boats do move water and cause a current. I've seen it when watching some professional tournaments. One angler actually had a boat pass him up & down a few times which caused the fish to bite!! I think he also won the tournament. Stay Safe & God Bless!!! 🤠👍
Subscribed... Lots of tournaments release the bass at the boat ramp area, which is a place with a lot of boat traffic. Not all, but some bass do stay in the area for a time.
I completely agree with you, my biggest bass of the year 8lb 10oz came on Memorial Day, 3pm , wake boats and pontoons everywhere, it's frustrating dealing with them because they mostly are very inconsiderate but can definitely help the bite
I won a kayak tourney recently and half of it was on the main lake during heavy recreational boat traffic. Boat traffic is even worse for kayaks. I knew I had to embrace it though. I noticed that the boat traffic positioned some of the fish to predictable places and some of the fish actually used it to pin baitfish to the surface and get the injured bait. In the middle of the boats I saw a huge blowup. Wish I could have gotten to it in time but I caught my fish that positioned to a ledge and to brush piles when it got bad.
In San Diego. Muddy water and eye candy on a clear lake (San Vicente reservoir) great fishing conditions 👍😎
