Phillip, In ref. to your question about crab traps, I have used both the folding side and the ring type from small boats in local bays. The way we used then was to bait the traps and attach a float to the pull-up rope and drop several traps in different locations. After 15 min. to a half hour we'd go back, pull up the trap, sort out the under sized and females, andrebait and reset them. Give it a try it works preety well. As to space, you could make a ring style trap that used a fiberglass rod with hooks on the end for the rings so that when not in use all of the trap could be rolled up into a small bundle. P.S. Remember when you attach the float and line to take into account for tides and current, there's nothing so frustrating as watching your float sitting about 15 feet under your boat :-). ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
