Salt ditch is like the channel its a boat right a way...

I rather someone run wide open than slow down and make a bigger wake like most do..

when I pass people in the saltditch I try to idle pass them with out making a wake if possible

Ding Ding !!! I wish more people would think this way and just keep fishing instead of moaning and groaning about who motored by.

When someone decides to fish a high traffic area it doesn't mean that they have just leased that spot and its their water for the day.

When I'm fishing the channel, salt ditch, or river I just wave on everyone in hopes they stay on step when they go by. It makes less wake, lets the water settle faster, and eliminates them from rubber necking too long to see what your throwing. Unless they pass so close to cause a safety issue to me I just keep fishing. I'm the one who decided to stop there and put myself in a high traffic area so I'm not going to hold up everyone else.

True, I have had people wave me on, and actually while fishing, I would rather them stay on step than slow down. Unless they are loaded down with a boat full of bikinis.
