A knot and a half seems extreme, but I'm guessing it's your instruments. I usually pick up less than half a knot in reality, once I have recalibrated the knotmeter*. *There seems to be a lot of speed trickery going on with slime and other stuff down below, so throughout the season I keep recalibrating the knotmeter to reflect reality (as seen by my GPS in slack water). Once I have a clean bottom again, I reset the knotmeter to the base value.
