you've got plenty of time they haven't started in any real numbers yet
Cheers I might give it another go in a couple of weeks ?
I turned over one rock and got about 20 crabs in one go after 15mins I had loads ? So checked and the non peelers I returned to the area ?
been fishing 35 years never used peeler, how can you tell when they are ready, and how do you get them ready for the freezer, cheers jeff
Cheers mite have a look round the rocks, jeff

a good few beginning to show round the middins rocks,but you should be able to tell which is a peeler and which is not instead of collecting every crab that's there. davy.

Its easy and quick to tell if you have a peeler, just take the first joint off on the back leg, if its a peeler, then there will be a soft floppy leg underneath, if not, then leave it, and it will go into peel within a month (to repair the leg)
Another tactic, if you pull one in that's munching on your bait, snap off one of its claws, and throw it back, that causes it to peel faster, another method I don't agree with, is to pull off one or both of its eyes, thats just cruel, how is it meant to see where the beach is to go and start peeling....
