NFC: Re: minnow trap vandals
Hello Chris,
At least they left you the trap. I have had three traps removed from the
creek in my backyard. For some reason, people can't seem to leave minnow
traps alone. I should have hidden the lines better, but I figured no one
would be on my property, so I simply tied the lines to a handy tree branch
with no thought of concealment.

Well it had to happen sooner or later.
I went to collect the fish from my minnow trap yesterday and some
[explicative] emptied out my minnow trap and wasn't even nice enough to
put it back in the water. There was a car parked about 50 yards away by
the river, with nobody in it. windows down and engine still hot. the
minnow trap was still wet. I figured there was an excellent chance
whoever was driving that car did it.
Whoever it is, they hid pretty good (easy to do along the Eno) because I
couldn't find them. I wanted to see if this person happened to have a
lot of bait in the form of creek chubs (the most common species I
collect at that specific place).
I wish people would treat minnow traps with the same courtesy as crab
pots. *sigh*
