Those areas are included in the water I boat in all the time. Again, have never had one jump around my boat. Have seen plenty jump but the majority of the time it is around boats with 2-strokes. Certain harmonics in the water seem to agitate them. Your boat must be catnip to them! :lolhit:

In my experience, a 2 stroke on a tin boat will really get them riled up.

I never had much of a problem with the 2.4 Merc on my Hydrostream...had a couple jump in that boat over the years while idling up to the beach, but nothing like what you see on youtube when they are bowfishing.
