I believe that 18 difference is the reason the guy in the stern is out fishing you. I have noticed the same in my tiller Lund. In my opinion that extra 18' has allowed whatever disturbance the boat causes to subside. Thereby the fish would theoretically be more willing to bite. Send out extra line on the bow rods and see if I have any idea what I am talking about. My wife tells me that I have been living in assisted care for years and most of the time have no idea what I am saying. ;-)
