Something ate the crap trap...

Post by bman »

Went out this morning and the first trap had a few crabs in it.
The second trap was flipped over and the bait door was ripped off- not just open - ripped off.
No bait and just a couple of crabs.

The Third trap- something ate one of the scoops- I mean ate it.
Mauled the wire and flipped the trap - got the bait well open and ate the bait.
No Bait - no crabs.

I'm sure it was a shark- just don;t want to tell my wife :o

I "repaired" them and put them back out- wonder what I'll find tomorrow.

By the way- stuck in side - there was a nice storm and its set in raining.
My luck- no rain for months and now it rains on my vacation.

The Kemp's Ridley think crabs are 'bout better'en cotton-candy.

I'm resisting editing the post title... :oops:
CRAP.... Crab Trap.

We did try for the tarpon- after a big rain storm
No Tarpon but I did have a 50 min fight with a BIG stingray... BIG BIG....

Drug the yak over a mile down the beach.
Fun but disappointing.... It destroyed my reel.

Had an alligator do that to a trap once. That was up in a bayou.

Doctor can give you something for that.

I thought this post was going to be about something eating the toilet.
