Crabs

Post by morrow »

Does anybody know were I can get crab at the mo?

Looked/phoned all over the place and it seems so scarce :think:

Should of brought a load back from Brixham 50p per crab and some lovely ones

Just wanted a couple for this weekend, If nothing seems to be around the big wrasse love them :)

Use the small hardbacks Jay....hook them through a leg socket,they'll nail them just as much as a peeler:)

Limpets are a damn good alternative for wrasse Jay and plentiful on most rock marks.

Jay just use limpet or rag. It's just as effective and wouldn't waste decent crab on wrasse. I'd save them for the cod
