Florida topless traps.

[bayoubilly]

its hard to believe that florida with its long coast line doesnt have a program to clean up abandoned traps.  we have one here in alabama that is based primarily on rec boaters and fishermen volunteering to clean up on a set date.

i missed this years because i thought it was in june, but there are quite a few old traps in one of my favorite speckled trout spots that i plan to get at the next clean up date.  otherwise the program works great as the traps get cleaned up  in most of the visible and navigated waters. 

any way i didnt mean to pirate this post just curious if other southern states have a similar program.

We are working on it,we have to get this managment plan in place first and then start setting some dates.
