- The trap is too cumbersome to deploy that far away.
- or too close to other traps:
- This location is too close to another trap.
- 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.
