I appreciate it.Woodrow-You open ...Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>Woodrow-<BR/><BR/>You open the trap, tie bait to the bottom of it (dead squid, raw chicken, whatever) and then you tie the trap to the boat or pier and throw it into the water. Wait awhile and then pull the trap up. If there are crabs in it you dump them out into your container and then the fun part comes. You pick them up to measure them to see if they're legal. Anything legal goes back into the container to keep. The small ones go back into the water to steal your bait again.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347195133326535822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23123314.post-15297676356961411032008-03-12T00:30:00.000-04:002008-03-12T00:30:00.000-04:00Cool!

I have fond memories of fishing with my family. <BR/><BR/>I caught a couple little crabs by accident when I fished in florida in the late 80s. they'd grab onto my bait with their claws, the little buggers. Too small to eat so I'd throw them back. But I remember people on the pier, with crab traps. Back then I didn't have the guts to try it, because I didn't know how to cook 'em.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067471240374063731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23123314.post-24872378709861338242008-03-11T22:47:00.000-04:002008-03-11T22:47:00.000-04:00What a nice memory to keep.

You might try that for you and the family. Have a look at SportyCrabTraps.com - its a cool idea. You could be back to crabbing in no time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23123314.post-50344741365476419112008-03-11T15:00:00.000-04:002008-03-11T15:00:00.000-04:00I've never crabbed either, but I'd like to.
