I agree about the tighter quarters in that part of the lake but that wasn't the main problem. A bass boat came out of nowhere flat out passing us from behind within 150 feet. No sooner had he passed us he stopped dead in the water right in front of us. There was a red marker that was causing him some confusion so he figured it was safer to stop and check it out than to worry about getting hit from behind. Never had that happen before. Then, closer to Lees Mills he passed us again flat out. At least this time he didn't stop. My wife made sure I kept my mouth shut but it was hard. The few other boaters we encountered were very cordial and we all waved to each other as we enjoyed the day.
