crabbers
They set pots
Crabbers are people who catch crabs, typically as a commercial occupation or recreational pursuit.
The term covers those who set crab pots in coastal waters, work on crabbing boats, or wade with nets along shorelines: Chesapeake Bay crabbers have seen declining harvests.
Less commonly, crabbers are the boats themselves used in the trade.
