I am leaving the beach Sunday afternoon and will return Friday night (realistically will not get to the traps until Sat morning). Is it legal to leave the traps in the water for this long without checking them?
Ah, but new experts will rise up and embrace the new, friendly Stack Overflow that they have always wanted. And maybe rediscover the same things the bitter, hateful old guard found.
It is NOT 'bad' to use the new keyword. But if you forget it, you will be calling the object constructor as a regular function. If your constructor doesn't check its execution context then it won't notice that 'this' points to different object (ordinarily the global object) instead of the new instance. Therefore your constructor will be adding properties and methods to the global object ...
You should use new when you wish an object to remain in existence until you delete it. If you do not use new then the object will be destroyed when it goes out of scope.

Vinyl coated traps are heavier and create more resistance, and crabs generally find them distasteful and completely yucky. The crabs clearly prefer galvanized steel or tarred sisal twine like the type found in quality ring traps. You, Ed, must be a moron, or are just trying to help sell your magic black vinyl coated topless traps.
I am getting ready to buy either some traps or a 600 ft trotline, both about the same price. I don't have my own boat, aside from a kayak (non-peddle).
I came accross several rolls of plastic coated crab pot wire mesh and started making some crab traps. I don't have the pliars to make the stainless steel wire loops to connect the baitwell and sides so i have been using plastic zip ties.
So one day I tried to catch Stone Crabs using wire Blue Crab traps- and I actually find the wire style of trap catch better with Stone crabs. Stone claws are so expensive this is the only way to do it. I made a video to show how I did it. Feel free to give it a watch! Over 100 blue crabbing videos can be found on Jimmies and Sooks as well.
new to crabbing and I was wondering once laid out how often you should check traps to see if there are any crab
