We pulled some crab traps last time I was fishing in BC no issues if you want to share your website here love crab and crab fishing myself. If you really want throw some in a cooler and send them out here crabber!

I love crabbing. Nothing better than fresh crab.

Looks like fun....are they worth anything or do you just trap them for personal use?

A bunch of years ago I went "crabbing" a few times out near Ladner BC. Not with traps though.

We checked the tide chart and picked a fast falling big tide. Then we went out to a really flat shore line.
As the tide dropped it formed little rivers of water rushing out to the sea. The crabs were in these rivers running down stream to stay in the water and not get stranded. We would carry a gunny sack tied to our belts and walk in sneekers in the rivers and carefully step on a big crab then reach carefully under foot to pick it up.

We got heaps of them and had a big feed of fresh crab and home made wine.
