What I mean about the escape route is this - the crays will sometimes sit in a spot where you can reach them, and they will generally stay there until they are alarmed. But they are usually not far from somewhere inaccessible that they can get to quickly if they are threatened. The big cray that I got was sitting in the open end of a ledge that narrowed back a long way, I could see a lot of spots the cray could retreat to where I couldn't get hold of him. So I had to be careful not to alarm the cray, and grab him where he was.
When you say the crays run you into deep water - you mean they swim out in open away from cover? All the crays I've had escape me have done so into heavy cover or caves where usually all I can see are the feelers poking out behind a rock, well out of reach.
