Yup. Same in the NY Bight. But since we both used the same grounds, a peaceful co-existance reigned for the most part. In exchange for untangling the mess and not just cutting the gear loose from our hook, a small reward was in order. :) Although the Captains would try not to have it happen, when fishing at night, fouls were inevitable. We used to call the "17 Fathoms" grounds "The Mine Field."

Peaceful is good. Were you a long-liner?
