Drifting for fluke in dense fog gets a little tricky. You are technically underway, making way (drifting), so make sure you use the correct signal. Also there's the issue of keeping a proper lookout. It could be successfully argued that a single person fishing is not keeping a proper lookout. Then if you drift into a navigation channel you're the burdened or give way vessel. Nav channels can be miles wide.

It would suck to be hit by a clueless moron and then be assessed part responsibility because you were using the wrong signal and failed to give way or take evasive action early enough.

Best regards,
Roger
