Any trap you find out of season should be destroyed.
These traps kill many lobster.
I usually rip the doors off so the bugs have a way out.
I typically find between three to ten traps with bugs in them out of season every year.

During lobster season you should not disturb legal traps with floats attached.
Any trap you find without an attached float is abandoned and you should destroy it so it does not trap more bugs.

You may not keep the bugs when the season is closed.
You can keep any legal bugs you find in an abandoned trap during bug season.
