[[Fish]] caught with crab pots also count towards the four fishing [[achievements]] (Fisherman, Ol' Mariner, Master Angler, and Mother Catch).

Freshwater locations include nearly any body of water other than [[the Beach]]. In particular, the [[Farm Pond]]s will yield Crab Pot Fish, even ponds where a Fishing Rod only yields trash. Crab Pots also work in all underground locations (''e.g.,'' [[The Sewers]]). The pools found in [[the Mines]] are the only exceptions: Crab Pots can be placed in the mine’s pools, but they will vanish and be permanently lost once leaving the level. Also, Crab Pots cannot be placed into fountains (''e.g.,'' in [[Pelican Town]] or outside the [[Spa]]).
