A crab trap is provided having an open configuration prior to trapping a crab and into which a crab can crawl to retrieve bait placed therein, the trap also having a closed configuration for trapping a crab therein. The trap has a generally rectangular frame assembly comprising a base frame having two hollow bottom side connecting tubes and two hollow bottom end connecting tubes connected at their corners by corner elbow connectors. A plurality of hollow vertical corner posts is inserted in the corner elbow connectors and is three dimensionally perpendicular to the rectangular frame. The vertical corner posts each have a longitudinal opening extending from the lower end of the vertical corner post to the approximate center point of the vertical corner post along the length of the vertical corner post. The bottom side connecting tubes, bottom end connecting tubes and vertical corner posts all contain a plurality of openings to permit water to flow through. A mesh covering covers the frame on the top, sides and ends and is attached to the frame at strategic locations by suitable retainers. The bottom mesh rests on the base frame. A plurality of draw cords, one end of each draw cord being tied to one side or corner of the bottom mesh is threaded through the openings in the vertical corner posts and exits at the upper ends of the vertical corner posts, the plurality of draw cords being joined together at a common point above the frame into a single draw cord which extends to the water surface.
