Default Loganberries

I have a couple of strong healthy plants that produce a god crop,
however each year I wonder how to cope with the new shoots for next
years fruit.

They manage to intertwine with this years shhots, making it difficult to
find the ripening fruits (as well as obscuring them) and as they are
quite fragile, they often get broken or damaged.

What is the best thing to do/ some thoughts include:

Using two seprate sets of wires a foot or so apart and direct the new
onea to the opposite set (not really practical for me due to space
considerations)

Tie the new shoots together as they grow and pag them down close to the
ground.

Cut out most of the new shoots as they appear, just leaving the 6-8 I
usually have per plant to develop

Any other ideas please?
