Maybe just venting here but in the last little while I have caught people on two occasions pulling my traps! This never used to seem to be a problem. I usually don't leave my traps in that long because the area I crab is pretty sweet for crabs but recently left my traps in for just over 8 hours and watched two boats pull up and raid my traps. I set before work in the morning ran in went to work and was going to run out after to pull them. I work less than a 1/4 mile from where I usually set and have a prime view of the area. While working I saw it happen both times. A little choked to put it mildly. Luckily the catch at the end of the day was my limit but I still can't believe this is going on. Lucky for me the traps were still there I guess. Both times the boats were local boats so it will be tough to be nice when I run into these folks!
