A Gopro camera set up on a crab pot line watching the action.

That was great. It's like an IQ test for crabs ... some work out how to get in some dont.

Cool vid. Interesting to see that if your bait is in reach from the outside of the trap then they don't go in to get it ::) Shows how many are not caught in the traps compared to old style dillies too! :-X

Very intereting that a good find thanks for the post. Next time the pots go out I will make sure the bait cant get out to the sides of the pot.

Did I see correctly? Looked like quite a few managed to escape. So you are better to check regularly?
