If you really want to be reasonable and considerate (and safe) on 
the Tenn-Tom you will probably have to become a lot more like 
a trawler.  A lot of the Tenn-Tom is relatively narrow and the 
wakes reflect off of the banks and can accumulate.  It is good to 
concern yourself about the fisherman but the barge tows are 
more prevalent and they definitely do not like to be waked 
either.  You do not want to make them mad at you.
