Question 621 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is C) trolling. According to the Navigation Rules, vessels engaged in fishing include those using dredge nets (A), setting nets (B), and trawling (D). However, a vessel that is trolling is not considered to be engaged in fishing for the purposes of the Navigation Rules. Trolling involves dragging fishing lines or lures behind a moving boat, rather than the stationary or slow-moving methods used in the other fishing activities listed. As a result, a vessel that is trolling is not subject to the special rules that apply to vessels engaged in fishing under the Navigation Rules.
