Free Sump Crab Anyone? - Calgary
 

I found this guy hitchhiking in a piece of live rock. If anyone wants it for free for their sump let me know and I'll try and trap it. I don't have a sump to put it in. I think it might be a Gorilla crab. Not sure though.

Sold let me no when u got it

Ok. The trapping begins. I'll PM you when it's ready for pickup. Hopefully sometime this week. Thanks.

How are you trapping it? I have one I would also give away

Use a glass and a piece of meat food lean the glass fairly upright so he can't swim or clim out against a the rock he is in. Took me one night to catch mine and I'll take ur to if u don't wnt him

I tried putting a raw shrimp into a glass leaned against a rock a couple nights ago but never caught anything. Ill try again and let you know.

I have one of these pest traps. It's the same principle though. Once they go in they can't get out.

I don't know if I will have any luck with it though.

Crab - 1, Lee - 0 (bait's gone and the crab looks a bit fatter).

i have that same trap... worked for me.. make sure the bait is as far back as you can get it so the crab has to enter all the way. another trick is to tie the food on fishing line and use the top plug to hold the line. keep the bait ( this way krill or something large works best) up off the floor and he will have to enter to get it.

worked for me. hope it helps...

ps: james if you want to borrow that trap and are willing to pic up/drop off feel free to drop me a line.

Hahahaha smart lil crab

Thanks Mike! Ill let you know.
