I'd just like to add that when I'm maggotting it, I like to make really long casts accross the river to bluffs, riprap or deep slots. With my calcuttas and chronarchs, brakes off, I can easily reach these long-distance holding spots. What burns me is the "assumption" (Giving the perpetrators the benefit of the doubt that they aren't just outright toasting me) by boaters that the far bank is out of my range and therefore fishable territory. So many times they'll row right over the slot and drag their baits through. So far I've refrained from depositing my slinky into these boats. But so far noone's boondoggled one out of a hole that I've been fishing either. Am I hogging up too much of the river? Should I wade out to my waist, in order to claim the opposite bank?
