ABSTRACT:
The trap comprises a circumferential body portion formed of mesh material and having an open top and an open bottom. A top member is connected to the body portion and has a planar portion covering the open top of the body portion. A bottom member is connected to the body portion and has a planar portion covering the open bottom of the body portion. A first opening is formed in the trap and covered by a first closure member. The first opening is sized so as to allow a fisherman to place bait within the trap or remove shellfish caught. A second opening is formed in the trap and contains an elongated passage formed of mesh material. A trapdoor is connected to the inner end of the passage to permit a shellfish to enter the trap but inhibit the shellfish from exiting.
