I feel as though the new update far over complicates fishing with lobster and crab gear. I believe there should be a standard crab pot and a standard lobster pot (smaller) that do not require anything other than a rope connecter. Instead of adding logic and other equipment to the pots, you should be able to set a certain length of rope, a coil of rope if you will, and fish based off the length of the rope, given the depth of the ocean you're at. In essence, how it happens in real life. We have these huge crab boats on the workshop than can only hold 10-15 pots due to all the equipment and space needed to somewhat function. I hope this doesn't come off as too "nit-picky". I'm very thankful that this element has been added to the game, but I feel this change would be a huge quality of life to people want to participate in this update. Thank you

Should be a suggestion / feature request not a bug report.
In any case though, Stormworks for everything has these functions you dont seem to wish to use, this is fine you can just use a rope if you want to but thats up to the player to decide, this function does exist in game just need a rope and a rope anchor, its way more manual but it does work.
The pots are slightly large I will agree though, potentially bringing them one block size in could be nice.

I thought about putting it into feature, however I argue defect because something simple in real life is far over complicated, making this particular feature nearly unplayable.

I mean, you just need a winch on the boat, bobber with 2 rope anchors, and the crab pot with a rope anchor. you do that you can just attach ropes as needed and drop it in. Not too bad to do. Just more effort per drop than with something that was setup with all the bells and whistles ahead of time.
when you want to do everything automatically its just as hard to setup as a modular engine really.
