you still havent got yours out yet sarah?

 

[Bifferwine]

Nope! Sneakly little (bleep) :grumble:

 

[JellyMan]

lol and I seen a trap on ebay for like 20 shipping and all.

Biff,if your trying to catch your sallys,just take a piece of shrimp or silverside,tie it to a short piece of fishing line,let the sally get hold of the bait,then slowly lift em up untill you can get your net under them.
Dont know if it'll work,but its worth a shot. Works like a charm on wild crabs.

 

[Bifferwine]

Really? It's worth a shot. Although I'm afraid they know what the net looks like and will shy away from it as soon as they see it in the water. Maybe I'll give it a try over the weekend.

 

[yote]

They'll try to swim away from the net,but they shouldn't let go of the bait.

 

[Bifferwine]

Okay, thanks! I'm sad because my LFS said he'd feed them to his trigger because no one would want to buy them :(

Just boil them and feed them to your 4 digit cat.

I've read that if you leave the net in for a couple days or so, the animals will get accustomed to it. Worth a shot if it will help you catch the crab

Yea.. but is it worth looking at the net for a weekend? They might get accustomed to it.. but.. as soon as the net comes charging at them.. they will run right away!!!

 

[yote]

Did you try that idea with the crabs biff?

 

[Bifferwine]

Nope not yet. Doing other stuff with my tank. My husband bought me a nice bright orange blastomussa rock today (with about 8 of them on it), a rock of red polyps that I've never seen anywhere before (they don't look like normal polyps, they're really funky looking and supposedly nocturnal?) and a rock of green striped mushrooms (about 8 of them). So I will have to set aside to catch them in the next couple days... I know, I know, I keep on putting it off.

 

[JellyMan]

procrastinator!

 

[Bifferwine]

What can I say, it'll take more work than usual to catch those guys! And extra work is something I'm really not down with...

 

[JellyMan]

ok lazy procratinator :) and you dont have to boil them and give them to your four digit cat as jerm suggested you can give them to donny and hell do it for you.

I take it biff never went crabing? That method I suggested biff,,is actually kinda fun. Learned that when I was living on the coast of texas.

 

[Bifferwine]

I take it biff never went crabing?

Ummmm, no. I'm a vegan. And I don't even kill bugs.

 

[JellyMan]

yes but bugs arent crabs and no wonder your as thin as a toothpick on crack you have no meat in your diet you need protien.

 

[Bifferwine]

Damn, you are mean!

 

[JellyMan]

No Im not Im a teady bear :twisted:
