I PUT DOWN ABOUT 30 .

that ammount might have looked like a commercial operation man..... mabey the council lifted them on you or something??
i know that up here in the north bait collectors can be really territorial and dispose of guys traps in what they see as "their patch" . mabey something else to consider if there was other traps in the area

a metal bar bent over and hammered through the sidewall and into the sand might help if you get my drift

Hey Skipper!

Basspoint was not joking. Make sure you have a couple of say, inch or two square holes, cut out of the side walls that are facing up. What is happening is the tide comes in and the air inside your tyre causes the tyre to float away. A couple of holes will cure the problem.
