Yes I have fished it from a boat but.......that place is unique in the fact that spot the water gets to acting like a toilet flush. You are so close to the dam that when they pulse those generators....and they do that often.....the water will flow one direction and then maybe settle down for 5 minutes and flow the other direction. Sometimes the current flowing through there is pretty quick. If you don’t want to get your boat banged up you have to tie off to the bridge...which can tick folks off if you are blocking the waterway. I have been sitting in that spot and the water come up so quick it gets up to your calves in a mater of seconds with no warning. But in that spot there is no need to take a boat there.....it fishes far better from the bank.
