I would agree with McMahon! Washingtonians are fine! I've never seen nor heard of slashed tires at the ramp and sidedrifting has been going strong here for years as a deadly technique. Montana guys are the ones that are looked down upon...... If you come sidedrifting eggs should yield great results in the aforementioned spots. Sandshrimp/coonshrimp are mainly used during the coldest part of the year behind baitdivers. As spring gets closer these fish generally key in on eggs and yarnies. I'd say the guide boats this past weekend with 6 guys on board were averaging a fish every other pass!
