shouldn't it just be a matter of common sence, When i'm in the pontoon i make every effort to stay clear of the walkers even if they are in a hole i like. I will also sometimes when i'm walking let them fish through. I don't think that in all the times i have let a drift boat cast anywhere near where i was fishing i have seen them pull a fish out where i was. I'm usually chatting with them as they float by so i'm not really fishin anyway. For the most part though the boats usually will move out far enough that they are not bothering me. They're usually gone in 30 seconds, so whats the big deal. I don't think anybody has "the right of way" on the river it's just common curtousy. Feel the love brotha's and sista's. It's a big river.
