How do you guys manage around boats?

What will also help is getting to know your favourite fishing grounds and where the fish are holding. At one of my best spots here on Vancouver Island, the pbs are typically Doing a circuit along the beach in 50 to 70 ft of water and then out and around again. I have found that there are just as many springs holding in shallower water, 25 to 35 feet. This means I can fish this spot even when there are lots of pbs on the water and still not get into traffic difficulties.

This is pretty good advice. I went to Ambleside on my motorcycle just to go and scope it out and see what was happening before I went out for the first time and I think just watching the patterns the PBs were doing and seeing what the kayakers were up to helped me when I came the following day. And yeah, hooked into my first one running shallower the following outing! Great times.
