Diagonal Movement: Yes or No, and Why?
In order to determine whether or not you should allow diagonal movement, you need to determine what impact this will have on the game. Then you need to determine if you consider the impact positive or negative. Given no one here has any idea how the game actually works, we're not really in a position to advise you on the subtleties of specific, individual decisions bereft of all other context. You could just as well ask if casting a spell should be treated as a steady action or a complex action. More on reddit.com

What should I do if the parking area or boat ramp is full?
Use a preselected legal alternative or return during a quieter window. Do not block roads, park outside designated areas, trespass, or prepare a boat where doing so obstructs active ramp lanes.

What is the best time to fish a crowded public spot?

Should I leave when other anglers have already fished an area?
Not automatically. Let the area rest, approach quietly, and try a different angle, depth, or retrieve. Leave if the habitat offers no activity and your adjustments produce no follows, bites, or other encouraging signs.

2 days ago - Fish facing current are more likely to see a presentation that travels naturally with the flow. Along a weed edge or breakline, a parallel cast keeps the offering in productive depth longer than a cast that crosses the feature at a right angle. From shore, this may require stepping back from the water, making a shorter cast, or waiting for an opening rather than launching toward the center of a crowded area.

February 19, 2024 - Closest to me a thick stream of people is headed to the right, toward Gate 34, and beyond that a counterstream has set up headed in the opposite direction toward Gate 1. Drawing on experience in whitewater kayaking, I ease into the flow moving to my right and ferry across the current, crossing diagonally as I move ahead. I hit some crowd turbulence in front of restrooms, and use this to double back, picking up the counterflow, and eventually eddying out in the food court now on my right.

Then the pushing is amplified — and it’s going to come back to you. If you feel a push, don’t push back. Don’t amplify this wave. Just go with the flow.
