  • Spider Crab

    Haven't posted a question for a while.....

    Do we get Spider Crabs in any great numbers on our shoreline?

    Plus has anyone used them as bait when they're peeling?
    Ooh a new vid!

                Spider crabs are caught regularly on the trawlers, they seem to be more of a deep water species, but do get the odd ones from the shore.

                  Had the odd ones, harbours usually (maybe by-catch dumped by the boats?), think they're like some species where we see a load one year then none for ages...
