I missed the beginning of this ... did you change the subject?

Why would someone think its illegal to put a trap in a channel? Is this one of
those "it makes sense to me" laws? Here in New England moving someone's Lobsta
Trap would qualify for a Darwin Award!

I respectfully disagree,
if you move a trap the fisherman may not be able to find it- in a
nutshell you have stolen the trap and are a thief !

to move a trap out of a navigable waterway.
However, you may need a license to keep the lobsters.

Sorry Pete-- pulling traps as you describe is a Felony -- viewed the
same as stealing money directly from someone bank account !

jeopardy of a prop wrap!.

Maybe we can get together!

Isn't this why the big boats all have line cutters on their screws'
