HOW TO FIND PEELER CRABS TO USE FOR BAIT - BAIT COLLECTING (UK SEA FISHING)

[@damien706]

Really enjoyed this. Went to Wales today and me and my son were looking at some crabs in the rock pools pretty sure we saw a velvet crab it had that pattern on it and pinched my son. There was what looked like a family of them and some of their shells around too. Also some shrimp and those plek looking catfish type little fish. Love seeing their eco systems

Its amazing isnt it Velvets havs bright red eyes are pretty aggressive And have paddled wide back legs they use for swimming

Enjoyed the video, very informative and good advice on returning rocks, leaving pregnant females, taking rubbish and looking after the ecosystem. It's not just all about bait collecting and fishing, it's also about what you do while you are there to help and preserve for the future. 👍👏 Thanks to you and Peter and look forward to the smoothhound video. Good luck. Stay safe. 😷🙊

I wS lucky 2 week bk and squeed in a car with a couple of anglers and went to sandilands in mabelthorpe. I managed 2 bass and i think nearly everyone else blanked.

good video very informative, thanks

Generally speaking if a crab attacks you It's a hardback. Softies and peelers are fairly non aggressive. Also peeler shells are slightly dull in appearance. An empty shell is a crab that's peeled recently the softy should be close by. Great video - lots of useful info!

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Thanks for sharing your info too it's good to learn from others and to take on board advice given from subs to help me in the long run :=)

Bit of an off topic question but didnt know of u would see it on an old video, when using trident bits do you have a terma link on your main line amd then another on the rig body so you would basically have two terma’s joined together or do you put a swivel on one, many thanks adie

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Usually put a swivel on my top of rig With a termalink on my mainline Seems to work best for me and easy to clip rigs on and off :)

[@farriery2]

@@TheEastbourneFisherman cool thats what i do but didnt know of i was over complicating it

[@richardjones2811]

Hardbacks are still a good bait for Smoothies, caught plenty on them.

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Awesome bait when peelers are hard to find :)

[@edmundmayeaux3269]
