In a perfect world a couple of hundred yards of separation would be great but in late spring, early summer it is full contact trolling. If you are following someone, try not to get closer than someone can throw a 2 oz lead. Kidding aside, try to keep a good spacial idea of where you and the boats around you are GOING to be. Think ahead. Try to avoid a situation that you can't get out of. You may get pushed off your troll but thats better than getting your gear tore up.
