All should pay attn. and respect others period! Whether downrigging or long lining. I don’t think anybody is saying they or there technique is better than another’s. I know guys that flatline a very long distance behind the boat and riggers cutting close behind will cause issues there as well. 250 feet of wire out, doesn’t mean the lure is that far behind the boat. It has to reach the bottom 100 feet or so deep. So leaving a reasonable amount of space before cutting across another fishers path is not too much to ask. Things will happen but if all pay attn and be respectful. Everybody can fish for what and how they want!
FYI ByuHunter your math on depth per amount of line out , Is seriously flawed!
