    Was trolling on Mille Lacs this weekend and I thought I should always try and move to the starboard and pass port to port (red light to red light) but it seemed that I always ended up seeing the other boats green light as we passed.
    We didn’t get any bites but must have been in the right locatation as we had to get out of the way several times. We were pulling Fire Tiger Husky Jerks but no luck near Isle.

    You are correct on a coast guard level if I recall correctly. Personally, what I tend to do is try and go outside or deeper the first time. The next time I come apon that boat I expect them to do the same, go outside so to speak. Basically taking turns on the trolling passes.
    I might be expecting too much though. My 2 cents
