How much space should you maintain from other fisherman?

Just out of curiousity, if you are fishing from shore and you find a really sweet spot, and there was only one other person else at that spot, how much space would you maintain from other person that was fishing?

Some guy came and started fishing next to me prolly 5 feet away,and kept crossing my line. There were miles of beaches to fish from, no one else out because the weather sucked. I'm pretty much a newbie couple a times a year fisher. I kind of thought there was a code of courtesy when fishing, you know, give a person their space kind of thing, am I wrong? Would I have been out of place to ask a person to move over?

    On an open beach? 5ft is kinda close. If you were right next to an pathway or entrance where people would come into and just plop down, I'd suggest going a little further down. If you weren't then he for sure wanted to hold your hand.
