Is touching boats too close?

I think in that case you likely broke the anglers code Chris but not any laws.

Funny story, somewhat relevant.

 

It was good weather on a winter weekend and there were lots of boats drifting the Niagara Bar. In my infinite wisdom, I threw the anchor out and we held on the break coming up the bar. We were catching fish, but with everyone else drifting in that super fast current, paying attention to their rods, and us stationary, it was like bumper cars out there. We had some laughs that day.

Hahahaha

Yup!!!

It's like the lure chucker or bottom bouncer that worms their way in between a line of float fishermen on the river.

Go with the flow yo!!!

This reminds me of spring walleye fishing the river.

 

No we dont have that traffic...

 

But you get right into fishing then get smashed by huge ice chunks comin with the current lol

for sure!

 

Wish I had a gopro filming. We were giggling like giddy school girls as we bounced into boats. That day is still in my top 50 memorable days of fishing.

I'm with you Chris, you know where the fish are what's the point of drifting past when you can sit on top of them.
