Boating in the Vicinity of Anglers

Vessel operators who are boating in the vicinity of fishing boats should:

• Slow down when approaching fishing boats or give them a wide berth.
• Never run over anglers' lines. Be aware anglers may have lines out to the sides of their boats or trolling behind them.
• Never disturb fishing boats by making a large wake. An angler at anchor could be swamped by another vessel’s cruising wake.
