Anyone know the Law / Regs (e.g length permitted) regarding the use of Trotlines for crabbing in DE?

TIA :-)

According to what I read online there is no limit on the amount of line nor do you need a license but the limit is 1 bushel.

When you buy a fishing license for Delaware it includes freshwater fishing, saltwater fishing, crabbing and clamming.  There are no restrictions on the amount of trotline and/or traps.  We are allowed 2 pots per person without having to buy a commercial license.
