And a couple in Vancouver. Depending on the type.
Should be lots of DIY traps out there.

Try to do it when you move at the end of the month. Since the water's out then it should be easier.

Steve, I was thinking a little box propped up on a stick with a string tied to it. When it goes in after the bait, I pull the string, and wham!!, he's trapped. Well, ok, maybe that only works on birds!!
I'll drop a pop bottle trap in today and see what I catch, but I'm not pulling rock out (not that I think the rock could come out anyway).
I just find it strange that I've never noticed it before. There has never been any clicking, the liitle crabs I know about are still around, no lost hermits, my cleaner shrimp lives under the same rock. Just a fluke that I saw it crawling over a rock yesterday.

Default pop bottle

hey brad
cut off and invert the top of 500ml plastic pop bottle or gatorade bottle always worked for me. put a small prawn or scallop in the bottle and leave it in the dark for a while. preattach fishing line to the bottle for easy retrieval if you want.
but you will probably also catch your other shrimps and inverts this way as well...... so good luck

Ya, that's the best I've used so far. I'm sure he'll go right in, because apparently he hasn't eaten in about 15 months!! hehe
