I live in Deltona for about 20 yr. now. About 10 years ago i had a pontoon boat. Would go dip netting out of NS. Never got alot of shrimp. After reading some of your post i know why now. lol sold the boat like 9 years ago. Have not been fishing or anything untill this Spring. Guess I didn't like beening land locked. Started fishing at the ICW piers in NS and PO. Not alot of luck was just feeding the fish and crabs. Got  two junk fish in three fishing trips. So I thought I would start crabbing while I was fishing. I think the smart way would to have been just buy some cheap traps. But I wanted traps I could just drop in the water and check in like 2 hours. So I look around some places, but couldn't find any I wanted. So I found plans on the Web to make my own. Changed the plans Made three diffant kinds. Got one That works real good! Had alot of fun building them.  Turns out there not legal. Oop. Hard to find all the info. for that even on the web. I like crab meat but don't like eating crabs per say. So I use the meat in stuff like crab cakes and I make a crab and cheese omlet to die for. lol Anyway my wife don't care for crabs. Last time I want fishing/crabbing I caught like 10 fish in the traps as well as 8 crabs. <---- pic. over there. People Told me that was an angel fish which I found out it's real name is a spade fish. So anyway I thought to myself wife likes shrimp and so do I. Why not make shrimp traps. This time what the heck I'll make legal ones. Found this web site and sure helped a great deal. So i'll make some traps and try them out come Dec.
