[[File:Lobster_trap.png]] '''Lobster Traps''' are used to catch lobsters and crabs. They can be bought from crab fisher [[Npc]]s. You can gain [[Fishing]] skill by using lobster traps. It is not clear yet whether having high [[Fishing]] alters your catch.
==Using==
Sail out to an area you wish to trap in. A bigger ship is easier to trap with as you can place up to a dozen traps without having to move.
* Double-click a lobster trap and target the water next to your ship. The trap shouldnt be too far away:

::''The trap is too cumbersome to deploy that far away.''

:or too close to other traps:

::''This location is too close to another trap.''

one tile around the bouy must be free of other buoys.
* The trap will disappear from your backpack and a buoy will mark the location you placed it at
* After a minute or two you can haul in the trap by double-clicking the buoy
* Double-click the trap to have its contents placed into your backpack:
:''You remove lobster from the trap and put it in your pack.''
* If you haul in the trap too quickly it will be empty
* The longer you leave the trap out the more you will catch
* There is a chance the trap buoy will disappear with a splash, destroying the trap
* Only the person who placed the trap can pick it out of the water in [[Trammel]].
* Hauling in a trap while hidden will reveal you.
