If by "sailboats" you mean "islanders" then you're right.

Stop putting your traps anywhere near theirs.

Sailboats notice a trap stuck on their keel etc almost immediately.

Yours just get cut.

Seems like in RI you get cut or your buoy stuffed back in your trap no matter where you put it. And then the commercial guys complain about people messing with their traps.

I get cut I lose 1 (which I get for free from my father in law who lobsters up in Maine). They get cut they lose 8-10 depending on their set. Its really amazing that they think the recs will take all of the lobster.
