evening all im putting my pots out round the heugh in hartlepool and dont seem to be getting alot.just wondering if anybody else uses that location and what results

 

[mark]

whats the ground like and what you baiting them with? they like a bit of rough ground

might also be worth devising a 'secret knot' on a bit of twine to hold the door shut. its not unknown for folks to lift and empty them for you

What type of ground are you putting ya pot on is it rock or kelp.
and what kind of pot are they wooden ones are better off left to
soak before you use them.

Those sort of people don't use the door they just cut the pots open.

had the same problem myself in the past, the 'secret knot' was final clue.

best way is to drop em one day and get out a stupid oclock early in the morning the next to lift them, or move them a good way off where you've been dropping them, but eventually the buggers will stumble upon them and start lifting them again
