A friend of mine told me this trick after i used the inverted bottle to no avail on several occasions and I want to share this with everyone.
items needed:
1 - 6" pice of stocking (i use the toe end and measure out)
4 - toothpicks
1 pc - shrimp, mussel, fish or whatever bait you want to use
At the open end of the stocking, poke the toothpicks thru the stocking. do this with the other pieces so that you have created a permanent opening into the toe of the stocking.
put your bait in thru the permanent opening and all the way to the back end of th stocking and put your trap into the tank.
situate the opening of trap as close to where you think the bad crab lives. i did this right at the time my lights turned off for the night.
And then in the morning before i went to work, i checked the trap and i had: 1 bad hitchhiker crab and a bunch of others in the trap.
have a good day everyone.
