Surely, most of our concern is to do with cost and inconvenience. Personally I have no problem with a visible well marked pot that can be avoided quite easily, my concern and I presume that of others, is the dark, ex oil bottle, barely apparent above the surface. Almost invariably situated in a wholly inappropriate spot.

Thus perhaps the only course open to us as a "group" is to loudly publicise our intentions as a "group" to dispense with any inappropriately positioned, unmarked, invisible pot markers. I am talking "en masse", we should declare without fear or favour that these things are a menace and will not be tolerated after a certain predetermined date. Simply, stop, lassoo incorrect pot marker and cut it off. if we joined forces publicly and stated that was our intention in the relevant periodicals, we would probably never have to cut one at all. They would either be removed or marked correctly post haste. Its only because we accept non compliance it occurs.
I don't want to see some one deceased to affect change as mentioned earlier, wait for legislation? Give me a break.

When enough "cost and inconvenience" has been caused or even just threatened to these people, I will not honour them with the title Fishermen, we will see change. If it were an action taken by many, there simply isn't enough "violence" to go around us all. Paul
