I know there was a saying among navy men that you never sink or target a sail based ship. Taboo I guess.
But are these fishermen fare game?
I wouldn’t waste a torpedo. I may surface and shoot them or just leave them be?

it depends....depends on the mod set. i believe you said you were playing STOCK? then i would not worry about them.
in some other mega mods, there are junks, fishing boats, sanpams, large and small. some are packing sonar gear and guns...which will fire on you when you are within 6000-7000 yds range.
if they are packing sonar gear/weapons, treat them as a small surface combatant. either avoid them or sink 'em.
if unarmed, then i would ignore them.
