How Does A Fish Trap Work?
How traps work. Fish traps are weighted at the bottom so when set, they land on the sea floor the correct way up. Traps are baited so fish will be attracted to the scent of the bait and swim through the entrance. The traps are designed in a way so that fish cannot escape once inside the trap.
Do fish traps actually work?
If placed correctly, traps can be very effective. It is usually not necessary to check the trap daily, since the fish remain alive inside the trap, relatively unhurt. Because of this, the trap also allows for the release of undersized fish as per fishing regulations.
