1978 I had a Game Warden tell me once after I was hit by a ski boat inside a No Wake Zone . To just get their TX number and call the GameWarden. If they get there soon the GW could have confiscated everything the violator had to help pay for the damages to my boat. No telling in these liberal days of 2020 if that would still be the case. But make sure your boat is legal and in order too just in case.

I have been fishing for over 50 years now. And chasing, whites, hybrids, and strippers for just as long. We do not troll. I have developed a method for catching them once I mark them with electronics. We have caught 100+ countless times, just like we did last Sunday and Monday. On a slow day it is 40 or so. With that said I constantly have a problem with trollers. I mark the fish and spot lock on them typically with no boats around. We cast to a spot and catch them. Before long the boat parade will start. They see us catching and I can hear their comments (their catching them ever single cast). So they will troll away from us at first until they realize we are on them. Then they will troll closer and closer, I've had a bunch of them troll circles around us within 30 feet. Very obvious what they are doing, some are even within 10 feet. Now mind you I have never moved from the spot I started with when no boats were around. I've even had them yell at me when they caught our line. I don't understand why trollers have the mentally that they think they have the right to ruin the fishing for everyone else. I have even moved off our spot to avoid an ugly confrontation. I mark them in another spot, and low and behold here come the trollers again. I don't have the correct answer for it. But it seems some of them are OK, but there are a group of them that do not understand the boating laws and regulations. Nor did anyone teach them common decency. You know the behavior that conforms to accepted standards of morality or respectability.

If trollers could find and more critical, catch fish, they would not need to troll ! AS for as I am concerned, trolling is not fishing. However , person(s) that guide for a living resort to this method to make a profit.
Your point and thread is a good one.
