Most full time commercial lobstermen use only enough line on their gear so that the buoys are up during the slack. Therefore when the current runs the buoys will go under, and not get chewed by boats that can't or don't look out for them. Some of the places I fish the current runs hard enough to lay the buoys right on the bottom. You can actually see them come up off the bottom when the tide breaks. Still there are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to many pots, and in LIS there arn't many lobsters. They'll put themselves out of business. If the pots are in the way try to move them. Unfurtunatley if there trawls you don't have a chance. Please Don't cut buoys off! The gear continues to ghost fish forever. The commercial guys will grapple the stuff up, but with the goog's it's gone forever. Sorry for the rant.
