If the fishermen gave a flying f*** (that's 'fish') about losing their gear, they would mark it correctly.
However, because they run around in fully-skegged single-propped displacement boats, I suspect they take some pathetic delight in risking the props, P-brackets, shaft logs, boats, and lives, of those of us in leisure craft.
When they are on their uppers, of course, they'll come running to the tax-payer for help, and guess who's the tax-payer...?
