Where do I meet you....
Narragansett Bay is FULL of lobster pots and we run at night all the time. In 10 years I have snagged 3 pots at night. Usually its a matter of power down, tip the motor up and, sometime, cut the line. Other times just unwrap off the prop if its not too tangled.

No boat, back in the suds.
