NFC: Re: Re: minnow trap vandals
Hello All,
By 'removed,' I mean stolen. There was no sign of the traps. Someone else
now possesses them. I have no traps. And in Oregon, traps are not
available for purchase at your local bait store, for there are no bait
stores, and they are not available at the sporting good store. Minnow traps
are illegal in Oregon. Crayfish traps are not, therefore, I do quite a bit
of "crayfish trapping." I just think minnow traps work better! Something
to do with the smaller apertures. Anyway, I can only replace these traps
through mail order.

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*
