I try to think of it in perspective. I think it really depends on how much pressure the lake sees. Are the fish used to noise and moving water or is it a lake that is rarely fished. I watched Whitey Outlaw purposefully run his skiff into lay downs with the big motor and fish them with the big motor running. His theory was that it spooks and agitates the fish so all the fish tucked deep in the cover run out a few feet and he picks them off. Granted that was on Santee Cooper and it sees quite a fair amount of pressure.
