Capt George BANNED?!?! They let antisocial ranters hijack every thread on every forum (except this one), and they ban Capt George? That's pretty sad.

Geez guess I am not meant to get crabs for my birthday...at least from my canal. I got the new pot and it has been in there since Saturday with no luck. We put it with the bait door up and the bait door down. We had various leftovers in there. At least with the Walmart trap they ate the food no matter what we put in. This hasn't been touched. Last shot is to get some Bonita. I reallllllly want to get some crabs out my back door!!!!!

Bait door down. This is a two level trap, correct? The way the two level traps work is that the crabs enter the bottom where the bait is, eat until they're content, and then try to escape by going up (don't ask me why??), where they then stay until you collect them .

Don't give up yet. Just because they're not here now doesn't mean they won't be later. It's just too bad they didn't make their appearance for your B-day . Up here in the Chesapeake, this time last year I was catching several dozen a week off of my pier; this year I'm averaging 1 crab every 3 days, and that's fishing two pots! No rhyme, no reason.

Bait door DOWN. Last time I went to Fishn Franks they were out of Bonita. I used mullet (didn't have time to cast net) and worked fine. I'm on the Pellam waterway. Which waterway are you on (no address, just waterway name)?
Thx

I hope for your sake that you're not too far up the creek. There may be too much fresh water from rain run off. Have you checked with any neighbors to see if they are getting any?
