Night Fishing is a world in its own. you can come up on some one at not really notice,,,fishing a point, maybe they dont have black lights, we all no the scenarios.
Your case in question, which I have done, is to say. "This spot was hot last night" while the other boat cast over you line. Try to get a little chit chat going. We dont own the "spot" but etiqutte is in order. So,, you reel your line in. Grab your crank bait rod with a DD22, or other crank bait you dont mind losing, Throw over his line and maybe the partners too. Reel down till you see their lines jump and YANK LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW. Tell your partner to "Get The Net"!!!!!!!
When you have just about yanked the rods out of their hands and "OOOPPS" Realize your mistake. Apologize, cut your line and while trolling past them, ask in the utmost southern draw,,, "Ya"ll From Ohio???"
