We live in a narrow area that makes it difficult, but quite possible, to pass at 150'. We see the MP trap boaters all the time as if its a game. When the MP has a chance to stick to their side of the narrows, they often slow down and idle right up the middle. It creates traffic jams that go away as soon as they leave. It works though. On weekends, there is sometimes a yahoo that zips by the pack and gets nabbed, which of course makes good entertainment, but it is clearly entrapment at the expense of courteous boating. Its just what they do.
