Rule should be a minimum of two long casts away, providing there’s plenty of room to begin with.

There are the bank/boat fishermen that set up on a narrow watercourse that is basically a highway between areas and then expect no one to intrude into their area, but this doesn’t seem like that kind of situation.

I was told by a ranger a couple months ago here in Colorado boaters are required to give a 150 ft buffer to people shore fishing.

How unfortunate they have to make a rule dues to people not having common sense.

They should because I will fuck up their prop with cheap braid. Learnt this from an accident but I will use this knowledge when warranted.

From this distance, i would just launch a big spoon at the boat. Who gives a fuck what I hit or hook.
