I will do the quantity thing early in the season - like anchor my boat below Blue Creek and load up on Xmas presents for my relatives (7 hatchery dinks in 4 trips - no C&R here!). I'll also bump boats with the Bouy 10ers to load up on the chrome piggies, but what I usually wind up doing is fishing out of the way or off peak places and enjoyng the solitude, uninterupted by disturbing things like fish biting.

I have on occasion had the two coincide, like a few years back on the upper Quinault, where the river split into a side channel configuration that encouraged all the fish to swim into a channel that boats couldn't enter. I found this spot one March day while fly fishing during low water, and proceeded to hook 8 wild steelhead and land 3 (many snags and mean fish!) One taped out to be 21 lbs, and I only got him in by chasing him into the shallows after he had rolled up in my fly line to the point that he couldn't break me off. That spot went away during the next high water, but was sure fun while it lasted.
