The following creatures can be caught by putting a crab pot into any freshwater location.<ref name="crabpot_chance" /> Note that only normal quality fish can be caught with a crab pot.
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 cab be placed in the mine’s pools, but they will vanish and be permanently lost once you leave the level. Also, Crab Pots can not be placed into fountains (e.g. in [[Pelican Town]] or outside the [[Spa]]).

==Tips==
* Because the [[#Freshwater|freshwater catches]] sell for a low value and can be easily caught in large quantities, they're ideal choices for turning into [[Quality Fertilizer]]. During the early game you may want to put a handful of crab pots in your farm's ponds (where they're easily accessible to harvest daily) so that you can make fertilizer out of their catches and net a bit of fishing experience.
* When the [[Skills#Fishing|Luremaster Profession]] is taken, it becomes very easy to accidentally pick up your crab pots immediately after harvesting them. In order to prevent this from happening, a simple set of steps must be followed; First, clear your entire inventory bar. Secondly, select the furthest right empty inventory space. Finally, only harvest the crab pots via left-clicking. So long as you do not right click, and the selected inventory slot is not filled by harvested trash or fish, your character will not pick up the crab pots!
** Without the profession, the easiest way is to have the bait selected as you empty the crab pots, easily baiting the pot right away. Baited Crab Pots cannot be picked up.
