I'm probably no more than 5 or 6 metres deep at high tide, which
probably explains the results that I'm getting. Should the pots be
over rocks, or on sloping sand as I've read elsewhere?

Although they will, eventually, get everywhere it's worth following the
example of the commercial potters. They always drop their post close to,
'though not necessarily among, rocks - to much chance of losing a string.

If you want spider crabs they're more likely to be on the sand btw.
