I plan to use 10 topless traps with markers and just make rounds on the traps with my kayak, do I need any special license or permit to do this

Unattended means going home. Making rounds is "tending".

Not sure what you mean by "automatic", but I do not think they are legal either.

You haven't seen the automatic traps that scurry along and suck up crabs with a vacuum like nozzle? They are latest craze in crabbing and all the rage among fashionable crabbers.

Also interested to see how this works out for you.... I also have questions about all of this stuff... On one site it says you can not use 2 traps or lines per person but I see people using tons of traps all the time. And also it say you can not use any type of float with any trap at any time and also that is done always.

Eamon,
That's not correct. You can't have more than two commercial traps or two (maximum length) 150' trot lines in the water as a recreational crabber. You may have any number of handlines or collaspsable/manually operated traps as long as you are actively tending them.

Check with your local meat packer or butcher shop. Up here in Sussex Co. we get chicken backs 40lbs for about 15 bucks! Good luck! |
