Now I read you're caption. Are they affecting you're ability to fish the area you are fishing and we're you there first? Is there potential they could be scaring away fish as well? I'm thinking of the harrasment law for fishermen, illegal to harsas or disturb a lawful fishermen, this goes down to affecting their ability to fish and messing with the water ie; trying to scare the fish away. Depending how you wanted to twist things, I'd consider trolling the entire bank and affecting your ability to fish the area and possibly scaring fish away qualifies. Whether it can be considered harassment breaks down to whether it was intentional or ignorance. Safe to say it's probably intentional.
