The lake is public property that everyone has the right to use and enjoy. Abandoned crab traps are as bad as a tire shop owner throwing junk tires on public property. Or a muffler shop trashing old mufflers in the lake. For that matter, any business whose refuse negatively affects the rights of others should be intolerable. I respect crabbers as business people and will give those who deserve it all the respect in the world. But, the irresponsible will be treated accordingly and none of us should be afraid to take the law into our own hands and clean up a mess.
