crab cart

[deanwar]

Looks like there is going to be a bit of northerly blowing next week so might be some decent fish on the horizon
Anyone know where to buy decent already made up crab cart? either buy mail or preferably local pick up
I did try to make some up myself a while back that was a unmitigated disaster (kitchen stunk for weeks afterwards)
Tried some of ebay that was garbage
I have seen some really good fish caught on this bait so wouldn't mind some to stock up the freezer
cheers

The only place I've seen it is on the Whitby site mate and it's proper stuff just a bit out the way.

I wouldn't buy anything pre made you don't know what goes into it doddle to make fresh mate

Which he's already tried and couldnt get away with, hence the question.

I asked in Whitby Angling Centre where they get there CART from and they said "a place in Hartlepool". I got the vibes they didn't welcome any further questions on the subject. Any ideas ?

Luckily I know a few people on the wet fish shops down the quay so I'm good.

There's a place in Redcar called inshore fisheries sells it, it's on the back road to the south gare on the right hand side

Any chance you could pm me the recipe?
I can get the raw ingredients no probs but what a f*ck up i made of it last time! it ended up looking like a mix of something that comes out of the back end after a heavy session on the Guinness and didnt smell much better either
i couldnt get the consistency right it was leaking everywhere before i could get it anywhere near the freezer

Aye,just checked it out but its not idiot proof instructions?? Dont know if you Lads have tried it?
What a carry on, messy as f**k and personally my efforts where sh*te
So by saying sausage casing you mean intestines? as far as i am aware all old school sausage skins are intestine jobs?
My lass is going to love me tipping up with the innards of a crab and porky trying to make a bait sausage

Do what you done then sieve it bid then add a bit salt add it bit by bit till you get a right consistency

ok so salt it a bit like makky?
any bread crumbs? that just made it sloppy when i tried it
It looked like it needed something to firm it up, suppose salt is going to suck the moisture out but its pretty wet to start with

Do they actually sell CART? or just the crabs to make it ?

Sell cart, also mussels, but I would ring and check they have any first (sometimes they have non in). Redcar angling centre also sell it, about a mile from the inshore fisheries.

dont bother mixing mine. a bit like watering down beer.

as for consistency, like phil says sieve it down. the water will flow out.

Cheers for replys and help
Not really any further forward like, apart from (salt and sieve??) sausage skins (intestines??)
If anyone thats had any success making it themselves could tell me there way of doing it? or where to buy it made up, within driving distance from Sunderland would be good.
Cheers
