Elloit to West Point a long run?? In that speed boat of yours? laugh You'll be there in 10 minutes tops. I wouldn't worry too much about boat traffic even with the Deep 6s. Keep to the outside of the pack. As you saw the other day, the general area is prety large and coho don't really bunch up that much. If you're launching at Seacrest zip across to 4 mile rock. Basically you can troll up that entire side of Magnolia to West Point and you won't be in a bunch of boats. Four Mile rock is a good spot to drop your crab pots. Just look for the BIG Rock along the shoreline half way between West Point and the Magnolia Bridge.
And BTW, guys that are using downriggers also have a responsibilty to see that you are using Deep 6s and they should vary their troll to respect your fishing method as well. (i.e. they don't cut too close behind your boat).Your responsibility is to avoid cutting in front of someone causing them to have to make a quick turn to avoid your trolling gear. It's a two way street out there. We all have to be aware of what the other guy is using as well as how we are fishing.
