Lobster bouys in the West bay tend to not have toggles but the minute you get through the Thoroughfare they are all toggled. You can learn to read them fairly quickly. Look for pairs of the same color bouys this is a set with usually 4- 5 traps between them. You should notice a smaller white float near the colored ones. The toggle is between the white and colored bouys. Sinking line is used in this application so don't go between them. When the tide is running hard the toggles can be drawn just below the surface. When you get over to the East side set your radio to scan as the lobstermen are more talkative and enjoy razzing each other. Helps pass the time. Bob Thick fog can indeed make it tricky to see and avoid the lobster pot buoys, particularly the ones with "toggles" on them that you find much more numerous east of North Haven/Vinelhaven.
