Pilot said it would be cool if we could some how make a crab trap. Aiad if I had my twine and net needle I could make a pretty decent one but I'd see what I could make up. Some braid and a old milk crate later

Well.... It might catch some, lol

If you can get a hold of some turkey wire or even chicken wire you can make a proper pot... 2' wide, will need about 15 feet. pretty easy to put together....

In NC you would need a commercial license to fish a crab pot from a boat. A recreational license would work. Think three pots from a pier are OK without a license.

Long handled net, chicken leg on a string.

Chuck the leg out, pull it up slow and net the crabs.

We used fish heads, run twine through the eye sockets and a large nut on for weight. Pull up slow and net your dinner.
