Where the heck can I find crab traps around here?

Anybody know where to find the good ol' fashioned collapsible crab traps around here?  Haven't been able to find 'em anywhere.  Sportco back in WA had 'em for $15 on sale, I figured I'd be able to find them around here but thus far no dice.  Been using a ring but would love to lob an unescapable trap their way.

ask sharky 

best way would be to order them online

Outdoor Pro Shop Oakland just got a big order of those traps in. Sharky and I have been bugging them to order more and they finally do, near the end of the season.

Fishermans W-House doesn't have them? I recall seeing something there. Maybe I was just seeing all the landing nets.

I have 4 of those foldable approx 3 ft x 2ft x 1 ft rectangular traps.
If you get to aptos anytime i would be happy to give you two with buoy and ropes.

I only use two when and if i ever use them. Thay were free to me and i will give them to you free as well. What goes around comes around.

Not sure these are what you are lookinf for, but there it is.

Whoa, stoggie appreciate that!  I may have to make it out to your neck of the woods tomorrow.  Any 6-pack preference?

Bring your yak if you are coming. We can fish capitola for some 'buts or sea bass.
I will be out there around 6:30.

I should be back home early afternoon if you come later.
Let me know if you're serious about coming.

Oh yea, the important stuff. I drink most anything any decent ale, but not necessary.

Dang, would love to but that's probably too early for me tomorrow    Plus, still getting all geared up.  Got the pole/reel, still need to start stocking up on the tackle.  I'd like to get out with some of the people here before I move in early July though (and rumor has it my days are going to be a lot more free shortly  ) .  I will give you a call tomorrow though!

After depleting their stock I went back and found one Mike had hidden away in his secret stash in the back. I pulled it out and bought it while he was away hunting Steelies...Brutal!...     
Like AS said, they have em back in stock at around $20 ea. Remember to put in TWO 4 1/4" escape rings in the top of the trap to make it CalDFG compliant. these can be made by slicing rings off of a male to male 4" PVC coupling......
