Allison Wile is a lobsterman.  She lobsters with husband Tim.

She says that she likes to go-go-go and get through hauling the gear in a hurry while husband Tim likes to take his time and find just the right spots to set back the trawls as to no set his trawl over other lobstermen’s trawls.  That’s a pretty considerate way to go lobster fishing.  Some lobstermen are considerate while others will set their gear on top of yours  even if they know you are set in a spot.   That is when lobstermen have to break out the knife and cut each other’s trawl lines to get their gear to the surface.  It can deter a guy from setting back in that location and drive him away from good lobstering.  It can also start mini lobster wars where no one wins.
