Beautiful day out there Chris, too bad about the bozos..................................multipleboa ts can fish a paddy as long as everyone goes about it correctly. Big problems is that many boaters don't have any clue as to how to approach a paddy and fish it properly.

Here is a tip............................................... ..

YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP ON TOP OF THE FUCKING PADDY TO CATCH A GAWDAMN FISH!!!!!!!

Stop the boat above the paddy and off to one side so your drift will take you alongside the paddy, not right on top of it, it is ok to shut off your motor watch the other boats who are hanging fish............you won't see them restting on the paddy after every fish. If you chum properly and keep a dodo hanging, you can get them to follow your boat........................they will forget the paddy is even there. Next thing you know 8-10 fish in the bag and you are 1/4 to 1/2 mile away from the paddy, and all the other boats are maybe scratching a fish here and there.

Use common sense and proceed SLOWLY when approaching and resetting on a kelp, you more than likely were not the first one on it, and you should respect the other boaters who are already fishing the paddy.:rantoff:
