I've never done it but if I remember right, you can bury a jar in the sand with the mouth flush with the surroundings and drop some bait in it. they crawl in but can't get out. Just take it with you when your finished with it. The original post I read was on the old forum somewhere. You may try to do a search there.

Here's the post from stressless:

Location: Navarre</TD><TD class=messagemiddle vAlign=top>We've done well with a homemade Fiddler Trap. Take a regular spade, empty 1 quart Gatorade bottle (wide bottom big mouth) and a piece of squid/fish/flaky fish bait ) .

Dig a hole in the middle of the fiddler area bury the bottle up to the mouth and drop a bit of the bait into it. Let overnight and be careful to make sure the mouth is above the high tide line. Next morning just grab the jug and dump into the bait bucket - Fiddler crabs.
