Must be some fish showing up in Packery around the 2 bends, and just before the no wake sign by the houses. Unfortunately the maroons in their boats there think its ok to block the entire channel to all cast at the same few fish. This is a navigable waterway, don't get upset when people come through the channel while traveling. There is plenty of other water for you to fish with your 100K dollar bay boats, there aren't many other options for people to navigate to the gulf locally however. 2 days in a row we have come across this while traveling the channel out to the gulf.

You are correct. It is a navagatable channel or water way. You can plow right thru them if you like. I would look out for them throwing something at you that could be harmful. I would just idle down the middle of the channel and film for future use if they take it out on you.

Next time I see an airboat skipper at a launch, I'll recommend that he go through there! Several times. TexasJim

I have never encountered a situation there when there wasn't room for both but I'm sure it happens. We all like to boat and fish, just keep that in mind and show some consideration.

*On a slightly different note, there are a lot of fish that hang out on the edge of the ICW (especially right now but pretty much year round) please don't burn the edges when avoidable.

Had a floater for back like 7 or 8 years ago tied up on the West side of the ditch right as you come into the cut. Crazy fishing there on the edge. Especially at night.

Had to move because barges were coming in to close, got to be dangerous. It was tied on one side to a old Conrad Breacher weather platform. It ended up in the Badlands which was also a great spot. Still there, just a different owner.

I've fished in many different areas and generally think those who anchor up in a channel to soak bait fully expect others to stay on plain while passing. I'm sure there are exceptions. I'm sure they appreciate someone going by not making a wake, but I think it would be foolish to expect everyone traversing Packery Channel to slow down to a no wake? If everyone backed off the throttle
Substantially then they would probably make a bigger wake then at a cruising speed? Anyone have the perfect answer, because I would be inclined to stay on plain at a cruising speed for their accommodation, as well, as mine.

Maybe someone should address this with the local game warden or Coast Guard before it becomes more then a one finger salute response. I doubt Packery was built to be someones fishing spot! Rolling Eyes

Yep things have changed. Lotsa new folks, tourists, and old timers in the same water. My best advice is just set the example, most on this board know that and set a good example when on the water. Just gotta teach the rookies.
