Yeah, when I was running the fog in Venice from Tiger Pass to South Pass, I slowed down to a stop and then idle because I was unsure of a turn. Then an offshore boat with radar (and probably a captain more experienced than myself) passed me, so I hopped on plane and followed at a safe distance. Turns out he was taking the same route as I. Since his boat drafts more and he can see better than me (radar) and probably had a gazillion tracks through the area (and just knew where he was going) I felt confident following him.
Now, if that were a bay boat with Alabama tags, no radar, with a guy at the helm wearing a Salt Life shirt and rod socks on rods in vertical rod holders…well…I still woulda followed him but just to let him “go first” and follow at an extra safe distance. lol He’ll find my flat/rocks/stump for me.
