i have trouble with nets/pots in biscay. not caught one yet but i'm sure it's just a matter of time! round la rochelle is bad. all black flags. also encontered a lone persaine fisherman couldn't spot his partner anywhere tryed to get him on vhf with no success. fortunatly for me he wasn't as i suspected pursaine fishing, just showing the wrong lights. not had a problem with fishing boats over here, but some of the pots are badly marked. the local diver seems to make a living untangleing them from boats in the marina after they've limped home.
