Default Hey Phatdaddy

In another post, you mention building crab traps out of milk crates.

First, does the milk company know you did this (just kidding) :o

Second, can you post some pictures of how you did that?

Thanks ;)

Milk crates, the building blocks of the universe. *These are stone crap traps. *You can buy real traps *for about $10. but I was trying to get by till i go back to the keys to buy some more.


Pour 1" of sak crete in the bottom



build a slatted top out of pt. *the entry is a 4" pvc coupler cut in half



I use zip ties to hold the lids on, that way I know if somebody has been into it



tie a rope on with a bouy
Throw in water & wait for dinner to crawl in.
I usually bait with fish heads and skins or pigs feet.
The bouy has to have a R on it to identify it as a recreational trap, not commercial

It is not cost effective to do this, but all of my traps were stolen in the early season, I was just making do till next year

In NC it is a misdemeanor to possess milk crates that bear the dairy's name. *



I suggest sanding off the name.

MJ, just so you know it is not hearsay when you get it directly from the offender, it's called a confession 8)
And no need to steal them things anymore, you can buy them for a few bucks apiece in any of the wallymarts or depo type stores

I think it is fine here also. I have a friend who works a a retail store and when they get broken ones, his milk guy saves them for us. that's my story & I'm stickin with it.

My wife works at an elementary school and you would not believe how many are in the teachers rooms.

now wonder milk is $3.50 a gallon.
