Default Re: Common Courtesy Fishing/Boating

[QUOTE=Arbutis]I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I would also like to add, in addition to everything already mentioned. . .

Be very aware of boats that are trolling. Sometimes it is difficult to tell when this is happening. It often looks as if trollers are just slowly meandering around looking for spots to fish but in reality there is A LOT of line extending out of the stern of the boat.


We should have a trolling flag like scuba has their scuba flags, I've seen people run over people's line way too many times. Also we should have an anchor flag, I witnessed a boat run over the top of another boat last year it may have been avoided if there was a clear flag telling everyone they were anchored. It sporty seas it's sometimes hard to tell these thing, flags are more visible then no flags.
