[Ditter]

Let me start by saying that I know absolutely nothing about trapping lobsters. I am responding to your post. Maybe lobstermen bait their traps because more lobsters come in to eat the bait (as planned) and when they lose a trap it still has bait in it. Lobsters come in to the lost trap and die and then those lobsters are bait for other lobsters who then come in and die. Sort of a perpetually baited trap. Now if you tell me lobsters are not cannibals then my theory is worthless.

It’s not a theory, it’s a fact I have seen with my own eyes a hundred times when diving in the Keys and Bahamas.
