but hey, people steal all the time. maybe you can go find some guys wife/husband or truck u like and just take that too. maybe just go fill up your boat/truck with gas and drive off without paying. basically the same thing. NOT saying you would ever do such a thing, but that's what i think about people who steal crab traps.
now a offical cleanup day sanctioned by some gov agency to get rid of all the broken up, barnicled up useless, discarded traps, well i'm all for that.
the days of wealthy crab fisherman is over, if it is still legle and will hold a crab them guys will continue to fish it. traps ain't cheap.
getting cut up a joint at a time and stuffed into a crabtrap/hoopnet, or being filletted and used for bait on a jugline seems justifiable to me for the people who steal traps.
there's no wiggle room on this. if it ain't yours go get your own.
that's my quick answer on this. i could prepare something more substansial maybe after hunting season. lol
