(_c_) Vessels and boats when line fishing with their lines out and attached to their lines, and when not at anchor or stationary, shall carry the same lights as vessels fishing with drift nets. (_d_) Fishing vessels and fishing boats may at any time use a flare-up light in addition to the lights which they are by this article required to carry and show.
