recreational lobstering - cape cod

[Rich]

I purchased a couple of traps and want to try for some lobster this year. I have never fished for them before. Other than acquiring the MA recreational permit, what other advice can anyone give me? What are the rules of the road? What is the proper way to mark my buoys? Do I need to mark the traps the same way? I have searched the internet for information, but really haven't found anything online. Any advice would be appreciated.
