How does that stay on the hook, it must turn almost like jelly once it's defrosted?

[@Fish.Bros.]

Its lashed on to the hook with elasticated cotton, I baited up with it in my Uptiding for cod video. It always lasts 15-20 mins, which is all I leave each cast out for before refreshing my bait. I'll be covering it further later in the season when we turn back to Uptiding and winter shore fishing for Cod. Others salt it to make it like putty, or wrap it in finger bandages. Its all down to personal choice.

What time of year are the female crabs in season meaning with coral ? Cheers

[@Fish.Bros.]

You do get some early starters but autumn time is best September/October/November If you're in touch with a Crab Fisherman, they will usually keep you updated on availability & condition of crabs.

how much do the crabs cost or do you catch them yourself

[@Fish.Bros.]

Depending on market prices £40-£80 a box, and you should get around 100 baits per box

[@jimbojet8728]

You kept saying ‘we’, but there was only you? Why?

[@Fish.Bros.]

Thankyou for your constructive comments and input 🤣

[@keithakehurst9399]

I'd rather eat the crabs then use them for bait,this must cost a fortune..

[@Fish.Bros.]

You can buy crab wings already prepared, which tbh is loads easier if you arent using many. A box of crabs will set you back £40-£80 and you can usually expect around 100 wings per box.

I am an angler for more than 45 yrs and this latest KZbin cart craze is just depleting the crab stocks to the point where they will be an endangered species pushing up the cost of eating crab for the general public. In my opinion 🤔

[@Fish.Bros.]

You're entitled to your opinion, but we've been using cart in our region for over 30 years, so its hardly a latest craze. The crabs used would of been landed for food or whelk bait. The crab that are landed aren't specifically for bait, you cant blame the crab fishermen for wanting make a livlihood, your issues should be raised to the government and the people that make the rules, if you feel so triggered by it.

[@John-yz1sx]

@@Fish.Bros. yes the Yorkshire lads started using in the 80s it was banned up here in comps . But it is the latest craze on KZbin

[@Fish.Bros.]

I remember us not being able to use it in the amble open. That ruling has been lifted now. We still fish it every year. I actually put this viceo together before lock down. The price of wings is crazy now, it might help a few folk save a few quid making their own.
