This of course is dependant on everyone, especially if you are the one there first or the one coming in, but my opinion is, if someone is fishing a point (especially a small one) or a hump, he/she should be left alone on the point. If the person is fishing a flat, a series of humps or a really long point, multiple boats can fish together. However, in no circumstance should you come within or close to casting distance. Now I mostly use live bait and rarely troll anymore so my views are based on if soemone is downlining or freelining bait. A bunch of trollers can criss cross as far as I am concerned if they stay away from "still fishers". Once again, my opinion.
Where I get annoyed is when trollers (and I do not mean this in a derogatory manner) come across a point, hump, or ledge that I am fishing, then they snag the bottom and circle around to get their baits, and even one case their cannon balls. Plus I think the downrigger wires send out a harmonic that spooks fish as I have had times where I was marking/catching the fool out of fish and a troller came by and all of the fish diappeared as he was even with me. Heck, maybe the fish chased his lures as far as I know.
I just ask that judgement and respect are used. We are all out there for fun.
