Well, not the trap itself, but the crabs. My last attempt at raiding the crustacean haven off the end of the dock, using a couple pounds of rotten bacon, came to naught. So far I've used old bologna, old steaks, old head cheese and old olive loaf (all in varying stages of decomposition). I've put one of my first attempts on video, below. It's rather boring, so consider this just a look at what not to do.
The first bait I tried was headcheese.
The result: no luck. Head cheese was missing but no crab had been trapped.
Here's a quick video of the trap - it's hard to see, since it's made of black plastic coated wire, but you can make it out if you look closely enough.
Here's a video of the bait I used from the 'frig.
And here's a POV walkout to where the crab trap is currently positioned as of yesterday.
Stay tuned for further news, and upcoming videos!
I double I will be doing much outside today. It's raining like crazy. There's enough to do in the house anyway. I am going to remove drawers and attempt to locate the hole where rats and mice and snakes are getting into the house. There's gonna be a lot of crawling around today. Stay tuned!
