there is just no reason to ever get that close to another boat well trolling ,you can see for miles most days so just steer clear well before you get that close ,as far as it being new guys that coues the trouble not really I find it is the guys that have been doing it for many years and just think thy are always right no matter what ,,I just finished fishing the salmon derby out on lake Ontario and some days there can be hundreds o boats on the water including sail boats you just have to keep your eyes open to what is going on around you ,hope to get out of burwell this week for my turn at some eyes now that we re done with the salmon ,,it was a very poor year for fish out of the ports of brontie and credit ,,Dutch
