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 were trolling bunker spoons yesterday and going about 3 knots. A guy up on plane was about to fly past us over our lines. It took a lot of waiving and pleading for him to detour. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he just wasn't aware of all the gear we had out directly in back of us. Tough to see sometimes.

At least you guys were nice about it and understood. I had two jack asses two weeks ago screaming profanity at us with my two nephews on board 13 and 14 years old. We were going slow they waited until we got close to start the waving, sceaming and ranting. They were very lucky that my nephews were on board. I had really bad intentions. They should be some sort of Flag or something to let other boats know their trolling. We could veer else where. Going forward, Now, we make sure we go very very slow.
