Great tips. MadSci, I've never met you personally, but whenever I see anyone one out on the water that I recognize from numerous fishing posts, I obviously take note as to what they are doing & where. Don't follow, take mental notes instead. I'm pretty nondescript myself, but I've even been shadowed (? beats me, why ?) and it's pretty annoying when they aren't tactful. That's all it takes really, just a little common sense, and everyone's happy pretty much. The info you posted about sliding in well upcurrent, etc. is really good.
It's kind of like surfing. I used to surf with a guy who was one of those guys who would draw a crowd because he could make two foot windchop look spectacular. He'd just laugh, paddle down the beach/ reef one peak or two, allow the crowd to follow, then head back. He learned that it was bound to happen to him (the shadowing) and he learned to deal with it...posting this kind of info helps you regulars at (insert whatever spot here) alleviate some pressure and deal with it too. Hopefully at least...
