Machinery often times breaks down and needs to be constantly maintained or replaced, seagulls love a hearty meal from the lobster traps often times stealing the bait, traps get swept onto the shorelines, sizes or weight of lobsters may be a throw back, storms or a disabled boat. Fishing can be fun if you can handle the challenges
