I honestly believe that overhead boats stir up fish to bite, but not dogs jumping in the water, swimming and splashing around. I've had a few bad experiences with dogs and their owners. The owners come right up to the areas where I fish and throw balls/sticks into the water for the dogs to fetch. Of all the places on the river/lake for them to do this why do they always pick the hole I'm fishing. rolleyes mad

FLICKYOURJIG, go ahead and bring the dogs to the river, but you should keep them off the water until you and everyone else in the area is done fishing. eek cool
