From the many questions submitted via social media, this one that needed an answer from someone who has spent time at the rail. 

What is the etiquette for fishing at the rail during a hot bite? How can anglers work together and not get in each other’s way or get tangled up in others’ lines? 

We asked long-time angler and tackle professional, Carl from Fishermans Landing, for his advice and suggestions, and we think it’s great: fish lots, make friends, catch more fish!
