You dont OWN THE OCEAN. That is unless your a commmercial Lobsterman. (Ask them Tey will tell you that they own it)
Whoever is on the spot first has the right of way.
The exception to this is if your fishing a navigatable waterway and a vessel. (Canoe, Tugboat with Barge) or anything else needs to pass by.
Its a vastly differnt story if your say SCUBA Diving and are anchored and are flying a code alpha and a divers flag and some idiot desides to do donuts arour your flag or drag lobster pots around in circles until they hit you.
Then I say lay out the Steel Cable on the fishing line and let them snarl up their props in it.
Or with Surfers: If they were there first, then they have priority, If you were fishing firt then they should move on to a differnt spot.
Cast net for Bait?
