As for lobsta pots, they should understand that the Penobscot Bay (and
further east) traps lines include a "toggle" which is a second float
that is on a line about 15 feet long. Crossing between the main float
and the toggle float is a sure way to catch a line. And there are
places where the traps are placed 15 feet apart, making it almost
impossible to avoid snagging one.

That's right. I had completely fogotten about the toggles up there. we
don't see those around Boston. just luandry soap bottles!
Thanks for the reminder!
