I never power-cast a lure towards a boat. I may cast towards an empty dock though. I have been known to flip a jig near docks and boats (probably 5 or 6 feet away). Flipping a jig, for those not familiar, is a controlled underhand cast where you can generally pin-point your aim to the size of a dinner plate or so. This is a very productive fishing technique when the fish are lurking under docks and moored boats. I am comfortable with this approach and have never come close to hitting someone's boat.

Docks and boats can produce smallies, but rock piles and ledges, found by my fish finder are usually much more productive so that is where I fish most often.
Thanks for the invite but a bit far to me to paddle to I'm in Gilford on the Broads and usually paddle out to Welch or Diamond...
