Merci, didn't know Mr Cary made anything other than crawfish traps. I've always wanted a few and have a great boat for them now. WHat would you say is the shortest amount of time you could let them soak and it be worth your time with about 4-6 traps?

Overnight with a rising tide is best

I don't think they make them there. I know they are hand made,and she said that she has some people come from New Iberia to get their traps because, they store the traps outside. Something about the powder in the wire. I bought 5 just before labor day, supposed to go to the Grand Isle but, Lee said no.

This is great, be on the look out for a report from my first try in the next few months
