or you can pickup a crabtrap at a yardsale, punch a couple holes in a can of oily tuna fish and put in trap, tie an old clorox bottle with your name on it to 10ft of rope and then tie it to the trap. Throw the whole works into the bay and leave it there for a day or two, then pull it back up and hope you have a trap full of "keepers" we had a place on the bay in Del. and it was a weekend ritual to go crabbin and clammin.
