===Baiting and Setting the Pot=== Bait: To attract the crabs, the fisherman would use bait. Crabs are scavengers, so almost any type of animal remains would work. This could include fish guts, other smaller fish, or leftover scraps of meat. The bait would be placed inside the pot, likely secured in a small bag or tied to the bottom to keep it from floating away. '''Location:''' The pot would be set in areas where crabs are known to live and forage. This would be in shallow, coastal waters, often in rocky areas or near seaweed beds where crabs seek shelter and food. '''Deployment:''' A rope made of natural fibres like hemp or nettle-hemp would be attached to the pot. This rope would be long enough to reach the surface at high tide and would be secured to a buoy or marker made from a piece of wood or a gourd. The fisherman would lower the baited pot from a small boat or from the shore and leave it for a period of time, often overnight, to allow crabs to enter.
