ABSTRACT:
The trap top and bottom portions are reeved with an operator line such that the operator above water may by taking in line pull the top portion down onto the bottom portion and enclose the bait and attendant marine life therein preliminary to raising the closed trap out of the water. In addition, a second float is attached to the top portion. The second float has sufficient buoyancy to hold the top portion in the raised position, but insufficient buoyancy to lift the entire trap. The second float is connected to the top portion through a timed release device of pre-selected duration. The timed release may be a soluble link with a known rate of solubility in water and of a thickness selected to last in the water for the length of time desired. When float release occurs the top portion drops onto the bottom portion to enclose the bait and marine life while said second float, which is slidably attached to the operator line, rises to the surface to signal the operator that the trap is closed and ready to retrieve.
