Lobster/Crab Traps

[Fish On]

Bought 5 last season, but did not get a chance to try them out. Plan to buy my NH rec license and then give it a shot this year (Merrimac River area). Any salties out there have any advice for a newbie? I'm thinking that the majority of the time I'll set them out in the early AM and then fish for the day and then haul them before I head in. When I stay overnight then I'll leave them out. Since I just fish the weekends I'm thinking I won't leave them for a whole week. These are wire with mesh traps and collapse for storage. They are not the full blown pro traps. Interested in any advice on baiting techniques, setting (individual vs stringing together, locations, anything at all

Thanks!
