20 minute Crab Trap !!! zap straps and a milk crate~~~

20 minute Crab Trap !!! zap straps and a milk crate~~~ Video Clips. Duration : 2.07 Mins.


I have a small sailboat, and with space at a premium, I needed a small crab trap and wanted it to be entirely made of plastic. All you need is a milk crate and handful of zap straps and whatever you can recycle for the front and the door. I strapped a 3 or 4 lb weight to the bottom and a small wire or plastic grate at the back of the trap to put bait behind. elastic bands can spring load the door so that it opens when it hits the bottom. Bait can be anything but a can of sardines is fast and easy and seems to always catch em. I generally put a few pieces of bread in too...it seems to bait the water a bit going down with crumbs and brings the crab running.. Wait 20 or 30 minutes and cross your fingers!! I like 30-40' deep for Dungeness crabs and 20-25 for rock crab on a sand or mud bottom. Good fishin!!!
