This week Amanda and I used a crab trap to catch crabs at Menemsha. First we went to Larsen's Fish Market to get fish scraps. We used the fish guts and stuff for bait. Then we went to the bridge and tied the fish guts onto the trap. They were slimy and disgusting. Normally I use squid for bait, but this time I used smelly fish guts. After you open the trap, you drop it into the water. Then you wait for a little while. If the water is clear, you can see them crawling into the trap. If there is a crab in the trap and one crawling to the trap, wait until the other one crawls in. The one in the trap will stay there because he will eat the fish. Then you can pull it up really fast, so they don't get away. I caught five crabs. I had a great time.
This is me with my crab trap, but the crab trap does not have any bait in it.
This is a video of me tying on bait, near the bridge where we are going to go crabbing.
I caught one crab in this picture.
This is a picture of me holding two crabs, one spider crab and one female green crab.
This is me dropping in my trap.
