What are the unwritten trolling etiquette rules or expectations? While fishing out of Muskegon I was on a north troll, a boat to my right came out of no where and started paralleling ahead of me, then he decides he wants to go deeper and cuts me off. So his boards and copper are now in front (or under us.) That is one example of many times other people are cutting me off. It is not always a big deal as when I slow down or speed up and turn away it has triggered strikes, but it is just plain annoying. I try to avoid everyone as much as possible but always seem to play bumper boats at some point and time. What determines the trolling right away? Always yield to the boat trolling on your starboard? If your boat is bigger the mine, then am I suppose to turn?
