I'm not one of those guys, but I thought this would be a good thread to piggy back on. I recently got a little fishing boat and I have read the state rules. What isn't in the rules is the etiquette. It's not illegal to be a "Boil Buster" but it's impolite, something that obvious I know.
Other situations are:
What if someone is trolling North on a shoreline? Am I allowed to troll north also, if so how far behind should I be?
What if I wanted to anchor or drift fish in an area that they have passed through?
Is it rude to anchor on a point and stay fishing there? What about a cove?
What if I want to ask another boat how they are doing or if they are having any luck?
How do you get a green light to approach them without seeming invasive.
Sorry so many questions, I'm only asking so I don't want to inadvertently become the "Boil Buster"
