No doubt I like it better when they are on plane. If they slow down out of respect, but does cause bigger wakes it doesnt bother me because the intentions are good. But its definitely worse. Im more worried about the space they give me while passing. I fished Washington last monday and you wouldnt believe the people that would drive right in front of my spider poles!!! They first couple times it made me mad but then i started catching a fish everytime a boat wud drive right in front of me. I was fishing out in front of a boat ramp, so boat taffic was expected, but they would NOT drive behind my boat. It didnt matter which direction I was trolling, they wud drive RIGHT in front of me!
