That hole is big enough --Huge--that it should have never been an issue.

I have had this happen, rowed down in the dark and there was a boat fishing in the hole we made tracks for. Two boats could have fished it-but we patienlty waited, a bankie came in and waited too. Finally, they got there fish and we moved down and a boat above tries to come and fish side by side with us---we had words and said that bankie has been waiting all morning and your corkin him out of the hole. They headed down river. And all was good.
