Was gonna take a break today but my 9 year old talked me into going to Halls Bayou to look for more traps. I figured there couldn't possibly be that many in there... WRONG!! I started at the 2004 ramp and ran out through Halls Lake into Chocolate. Picked up another 25 traps today!!! We're up to 65! I gotta go back to work so I can rest!! My photographer (wife) had to work today so I didn't get quite as many pics -- there all starting to meld together anyway.. Here's a few from today...

Sandy -- at 35$ each that's over 2G's worth of traps! I don't know what they're thinking either. I can understand the ones that I find washed up in the marsh but the whole strings I find abandoned just as they were placed don't make any sense to me.Shut up and FISH!!

Don't know how y'all do it. In all my meanderings around SLP, Christmas, and Bastrop Bay, I've only seen one abandoned trap, just ONE. How many under-sized crabs you reckon those fellers have to sell to make up for all the gear they leave all over the place?From 1970-1997, true heaven on Earth existed on the banks of Bayou Cook.

Ya think that maybe the "trappers" haven't paid attention to the TPWD notice that traps needed to be pulled before the 17th? That they think the stringer is still there?At his baptism, Sam Houston was told his sins were washed away. He reportedly replied, “I pity the fish downstream.” - Nov. 19, 1854 - Independence, Texas

WOW!! WTG! Thanks-that's a helluva lot IBTSOOM!!!"Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.
