CART bait?

was given 2 cart sausages to try by an angler who was packing up for the day a few weeks ago.....i left them on the wall at middleton pier to use later .....about 1/2 hour later my mate shouts me over and pointed out some mucky bugger had left 2 turds on the wall next to my rod and knocked them into the sea with a stick that was lying on the floor ...the stick followed the "turds".. he still doesnt believe me that they were 2 cart sausages [partially defrosted] and is convinced some agile bugger from h/pool was trying to have a sh.te into the north sea lol

Lmfao got my belly in stiches hahahah
 
the law states that no edible crab my be used for fishing bait.
i don't agree with it but it is the law .i cant see why that if i go to the fish key and buy some edible crabs if i decide to eat them give them away or even bin them that is my choice but someone can say you cant use them for bait something not right there

Got to agree with you there mate. Some people like the brown meat and some don't. If you wanna use as bait then why not when you've paid bucks for them.
 
I wonder why u carnt use it as bait. We can use muscles and othere eatible sea food as bait seems strange like. Dont no wat the ppl maken theses rules up are thinking . Who no's:)

here here, if i go and spend a small fortune on crabs for her in doors im sure ill do wat i want with wats left over, obviously for pleasure fishing, regardless of where im going to fish
 
are you sure i was told by 1 of there officers they couldn't do it i was at st marys and a guy had been getting lobsters might or might not of had 2 meany or under size ones but he refused to show the nifca guy and he just walked away he told me if the lad had showed him what he had then it would have been different outcome

maybe the guy was big, have a feeling the guy wasn't a NIFCA guy, they certainly have the right to look at what people are taking.
 
Yeah they must have one or two things more important to worry about than what anglers use as bait
 
how do you tell the difference between male and female crabs?

Daren, the fishmonger will sort the hens out for you, but to check for yourself, turn the crab on its back and check the "pouch". In a cock crab its thin and pointy, in a hen its really broad. Once you see the difference its no problem. Good luck mate.
