'''Crab Pots''' are floated on the shores of bodies of water (lakes, ponds, rivers, or oceans) and primed with [[bait]] to catch [[Fish#Crab Pot Fish|fish]]. Any type of bait can be used in a crab pot, but there is no benefit to using specialized types of bait. Players with the [[Skills#Fishing|Luremaster profession]] don't need to add bait.

'''Crab Pots''' are floated on the shores of bodies of water (lakes, ponds, rivers, or oceans) and primed with [[bait]] to catch [[Fish#Crab Pot Fish|fish]]. Any type of bait can be used in a crab pot, but there is no benefit to using specialized types of bait except for [[Deluxe Bait]] and [[Wild Bait]], which decreases the chance of junk (by the same amount). In addition, Deluxe Bait increases the quality of the catch to silver and Wild Bait gives players a 25% chance of catching two items. Players with the [[Skills#Fishing|Luremaster profession]] don't need to add bait.

Harvesting a crab pot gives 5 [[Fishing]] experience points, even if [[trash]] is caught or the item is normally a [[The Beach|Beach]] [[Foraging|forage]] item. [[Fish]] caught with crab pots also count towards the four fishing [[achievements]] (Fisherman, Ol' Mariner, Master Angler, and Mother Catch).

[[Farm Pond]]s will yield Crab Pot Fish, even ponds where a Fishing Rod can only catch trash. Crab Pots also work in all underground locations (''e.g.,'' [[The Sewers]]). The pools found in [[the Mines]] are the only exceptions. While Crab Pots can be placed in the mine’s pools, they will vanish and be permanently lost after leaving the level. Crab Pots cannot be placed into fountains (''e.g.,'' in [[Pelican Town]] or outside the [[Spa]]).
