Since going to a draw in lower SE, there is very little hunting pressure at all for bears in the spring. You used to see the army of camo show up around bear season, but I haven't seen that in years.
I'd focus on drawing POW, as the bears are just getting bigger at this point and they need killing. Rent a 4x4 and a boat and have a hell of a time. You don't need a very big boat as many of the areas are protected and inside waters. Just use your brain and watch the forecast. When it's windy, hike down into estuaries from the road system. Like I said, not much pressure anymore for spring bears on POW.
