I hear you, the point about the powerboats is right on. There is nothing worse then fishing 15 feet away from a boat on each side, especially not polite folks. I am not sure just how much "we" are really being spied on.
There is no better way to find a hot bite then to be out there 3 times a week, I wish I was involved in the industry or my schedule allowed me 3-4 days a week. Until then I'll keep plucking away and trying to decipher the secret code.
Ok. Research boats it is. I get it.
