My question would be, if some one is fishing a pretty big cove, would it be better to let them have the whole cove or just fish the opposite side?

If someone is fishing a good size cove, then I don't have a problem with fishing the other side and if we happen to be going in the same direction then when we meet, I will be the one to stop fishing 20 yards or more before we meet and troll out around him and drop back in behind him. My thought is he was there first so I should be the one to move around him and not him around me. If it is a small cove then he will get it all to himself. There again depends on the size of the cove and it is up to you to decide on what determines a good size cove. Too much water for all the poaching to be going on.
