Lobster Traps

[peterseafishing]

I know this is a angling site but I was looking on ebay and found a lobster/crab trap for use at slack water and I love lobster :cool: .It was shown fished from a rod! so does this count as angling?. As the fishing I do tends to drop off at slack I was thinking of using one. The trap consisted of a small box about 3 inches square made from welded square mesh for the bait and about 8 snares made from heavey mono. Has anybody used one :confused: ? do they work :confused: ? Any tips

I saw that too, and was wondering if it would work but like everything else something made me forget about it.

 

If you put up a link to it (let the rest see) might help

You live in Scarbrough so save your money and dont buy that crap. If you want to buy a pot just pop down to the quayside and buy a proper one off one of the potters. Better buy by far and more chance of a lobster or crab

There's one born every minute

There is no way I would buy one for that price demon they should be made from gold. Lets bit of square mesh in the garage, 100 lb momo in the boat crimps in the boat tie wraps to hold box together. Rod and reel in garage I have finally found a use for the redundent 30/50 lb class rod and pen senator reel , as I now use a spinning rod :cool: for all my cod fishing. I do have standard pots but thought it would be more fun and they would pack down easy + do they work :confused: .

Just remember no more than 2lobsters per day that is all you are allowed by law if you are not commercial , a very hefty fine if you caught with more than that in your possetion is that not right wurzel.

Big cod i think you are wrong you are allowed as many pots and as many crabs/lobster as long as they are for your own use, according to our local fisherys

You would be lucky to get 2 a year with one of those contraptions! Especially in daylight.
