Frequently Asked Questions
Crab & Prawn Traps Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between crab traps and prawn traps?
Crab traps are typically larger with wider entrances designed for species like Dungeness crab, while prawn traps are smaller and use bait jars to attract shrimp and prawns.
Q. What bait should I use for crab and prawn traps?
Oily fish like herring, salmon carcasses, and sardines work well for both crab and prawns, as they release strong scent trails in the water.
Q. How long should I leave traps in the water?
Crab traps are often soaked for 1–3 hours, while prawn traps are usually left overnight to maximize catch.
Q. Do I need a licence to use crab or prawn traps in BC?
Yes, a valid tidal waters fishing licence is required in British Columbia, and you must follow local regulations for trap limits and marking requirements.
Q. Where can I use crab and prawn traps on Vancouver Island?
Popular areas include sheltered bays, harbours, and deeper channels where crab and prawns are commonly found.

I have not installed it yet
I have not installed it yet. Canpar was super slow once it got transferred to Canada post. They held it for 5 business days in my town without contacting me.
Harbor challenger is awesome but shipping through canpar was not.
Good price. Hopefully I get to use it next weekend.

I like this plug much more than the twist lock style. Easier to use and it doesn’t disengage like the twist lock did. Hopefully more durable also. Time will tell
