The pots are placed on the bottom of the sea at intervals of about 12 fathoms and each attached to the other by means of small lines. Each lot consists of 12 pots. Each lot is called a raft by local fishermen and the pots have to be baited each time they are hauled. The bait must be tied up inside to make sure that the lobster can't take it away without going inside.
