I am very conscious in terms of these issues. It kind of hurt my feelings. I wish we had written etiquette rules so that we always know what to do. Maybe all fisherman should have a big #1, #2,or #3 sign that they could hold up so that the person passing them would what to do. Even when I am doing #1, the most polite option, I encountered fishermen that just want me to get the hell past them and indicate this in not such a nice way.
