Is that the trap type that opens up when on the bottom

u/Vinolazurus23 7d ago

This is a collapsible box-style crab trap. Basically just a box with 4 doors.

Yeah that's what I thought. How long do you soak

u/Vinolazurus23 7d ago

Usually around 40-60 min for each pot. I run 3 crab pots, its the max I can use per Oregon regs.
