I don't do Drano too often unless it's blowing so bad that the Columbia is unfishabe, but that happens sometimes so up there I go. The few times I've done this the CPUE from the bank appeared to be better than from the boats. Just chuck a magwort with the rest of the crowd - get there early for a rock. A side benefit is the entertainment one gets from hucking at the boats that troll too close to the bank area - combat fishing at it's finest

This year I'm fishing for springers in February - I did better the first week in March last year than I did most of the rest of the season.
