Here's some TARGET BALLS to look at.  These sold for $29,000.

I went to a church rummage sale in Twin Falls in 1987 and bought 18 glass floats that were mistakenly identified.  I paid $18.00 for them plus a $2. donation.

Two days later I sold them to a local sporting goods store for $3,500.

They are not fishing floats.  They are glass target balls for shotgun target practice.  They pre-date clay pigeons.  They are about the size of a softball and most of them have names like Winchester or Remington on them.  The cobalt blue Winchesters were worth $850. each at the time.  There are some generic ones w/o names but of the same size.

If you have any small "fishing floats" the size of softballs LOOK CLOSELY.  You might have some rare Target Balls.

Forgot to say that a trap wasn't used at all. just bacon on the hook.

Tom, I've actually fished for blue crab with a rod and reel out at Sebastian Inlet in Florida. A strip of bacon did the trick quite well. You really don't cast it out but sorta just drop it in. Leave it a few minutes and slowly real it in. The crabs were to busy eating the raw bacon to notice or care that they had been pulled up on shore. It's been a long time but I think we had fun doing this for about thirty minutes, maybe. Had six in a bucket. We never waited for a line tug, but they were there every time.
