There is something about having the plug out and watching the oil drain to the bottom of the pan that seems right. But, I'm willing to learn from someone else's experience.
Depending on the type of engine you have it's pulling from the same level.

For instance, if you have a Merc 496 the dipstick line is on the opposite side of the plug.

You don't put the hose down the dipstick tube. You use the tube to pressurize the engine and the pump sucks it out through the tube.
