crab traps

a can see this argument lasting a while...:D I see your point to, the crabs dont belong to anybody, but thee stil bloody worth fighting for as u know, ther are a quality bait that must be collected efficently, so put a safer place in the river for them to peel, then your offring them a home. the only nasty part is the crabs dont know the cost of making there homes in our tires:o:(:D

tbh going to a m8s scrapyard and getting loads of old tires then throwing them into a river or placing them doesnt in my eyes give anyone right to them crabs or even that part of the river.

and worth fighting for? lol this is my point again people must be making a bomb from this personally i look for mine under rocks and such but if i see a tire im looking in it and if anyone wants to fight over a crab so be it (silly isnt it):eek:
 
ya more than welcome to have a go at mine.let a few out fishing club try them,get what you want if tha there but dont be greedy.happy days for everyone,we are fisherman trying to catch fish,life is too short to roll around in the sleck for a few crabs,and av been there a few times?.pm me and al reply and meet up,not too many tho.

maybe if you read my op you,d realize i wasnt implying that id nick anything out of others traps (a fact ive stated twice in this topic) , i wanted to put my own down , thats why the topic was started for some advice .
 
Yes charlie, we all know your original post. The thing is people say something like "I take crab from everyone elses pot" and they end up highjacking the thread. I reckon the steps your going to take to put some crab "shelters" out there is the right thing to do if you fish with crab through the winter, Nothing worse than £1 per crab, thats £10-15 per session easy. I hope you find your crab and have a lot of luck with your Shelters
 
Spot on mate, i was just implying wat had happend to me last year, so be careful charlie when laying your traps as we all know that some people can be a bit meaner than others and think they own the place!!

Hope u do well with them:D
 
not even going to bother with them now its just not worth the hassle ill stick to worms and the odd crab i come across while digging and i know a shop that does them cheapish , but still think its crazy that i can go to the river where i cant see any traps and theres people saying the whole river is taken but maybe i should take some white paint down and mark my rocks and worm beds :D nah im not that petty , maybe admin could lock this now before more tempers get fraid which wasnt my intension , just trying to do the right thing

I got on the wrong side of someone who a wont name but he was doing MY tyres because him and another person couldnt get the ones they wanted, so in my case a just have either put up with and share or just hold my own, which am not sure a shud do!!:D

Don't be disheartend by some off the BS in here get some tyres or some guttering, stick it down and check it once a day. If theres now you aint lost anything and if someone empties them for you, you know not to put them there again and find another spot.
Honestly mate with any crab shelter thread you get this mid thread lol. If your not the person who's actually looking for information it makes for a amusing read. :D

Hope you do give it a go :D
