I am a bank angler and if I had my say I would have sleds come by me slow and close to shore if you have a big wake I'll move I'd rather walk backwards two feet than have a sled fly over my fish. I think common sense needs to be used if you had to fish the water you were going through in five seconds how would you run it. what ever you answer thats how you should do it. My experience is that sleds running through the hole I am fishing in medium rivers really puts the fish off.
