lobster pots
Baited sea traps
Lobster pots are cage-like traps used to catch lobsters, typically made of wood slats or wire mesh with a funnel entrance that allows lobsters in but makes escape difficult.
They're baited and lowered to the sea floor, marked by buoys at the surface: The harbor was crowded with boats hauling lobster pots.
Also called lobster traps.
