Old discarded crab traps

[I make oil]

Yep. If there is no identifying tag it is the same as trash and you can pick them up. The problem is if it is even remotely useable a crab fisherman will have already picked it up. Crab traps cost over $30.00 earch. If it is just thrown up on the bank it is probably rotten. They rot away under the vinyl coating. I don't pick them up and tell my kids to leave them alone. I personnally would say just go buy you 10 traps put good tags on them and put them out.
