  • Thoughts on Crab Traps

    What's anyones thoughts on crab traps - tyres etc? I used to have a few down a while back. I see that there are literally hundreds down on the fish quay beach but that a select few people seem to have monopolised them - even though they have probably only gathered and dug in a few of those tyres themselves. My own thoughts are that tyres belong to no-one, and that once a sea has ripepd them out its up to whoever gets to them first to dig them back in - and in doing so - 'stake' ownership. I mean, just because someone has started 'doing' some traps which appear to have been abandoned does not in any way make those traps - much less the crab - his to own by right. My thoughts? Basically, I'll always do the traps down on thw quay for these reasons - irrespective of who claims ownership for him and his favourite friends. Those tyres only prevent crab reaching the sanctuary of the rocks and weed anyway. So for that reason, we all need to accept reality - traps should be universal unless you can prove you've maintained them year after year - and even then, the argument still remains that you're blocking 'free crab' meeting the rocks anyway - so do em' anyway!

        Sticky is an understatement mate! looking fwd to the replies on this one... me personally Ive never used or had the inclination to harvest them - to bone idle, that's my problem... much prefer the old convenience bait from tackle dealers.

          All you need to do is have a search, it takes about 30 seconds and you will see that Micky, or have you had a little look already.

          I will leave it for now but if it does kick off it will go, possibly along with the person that ends up kicking it off

            Been said many times the traps have been dumped by Anglers or Professional bait collectors they dont actually belong to anyone,if you are there first you can take the crabs,personally speaking i just collect what i need without the need to look in tyres/traps,I've been accused before of looking through tyres and they got the same reply as anyone gets if they appear aggressive "What you going to do about it" with a little extra added to that sentence........basically they did nothing lol.......BTW i never touched those traps i was digging for worms
            I seen one of them in the local tackle shop a few days later and he looked very sheepish
            Common sense prevails,plenty of bait for everyone,I've actually dug worms with a complete stranger and we shared out what we had,which worked out in my favour as i did'nt fair as well as him,I think thats what fishing is about..........Unless you are collecting bait for a living

              It's all fine and well throwing a link at me Greg and saying "it's all been debated before" - when a cursorary glance at your link shows nothing specific on the talking point I raised. And may I ask, where did you learn your moderation skills from? This has been a perfectly nornmally put issue in the hope of provoking sensible debate - and already you're threatening to take it down?

                      this topic has been discussed to the n'th degree and invariably gets people hot under the collars...I would wager Jim is only "threatening" to pull the rug on this thread should it turn into a war of words and goes beyond that of an objective debate

                              A Cursory glance eh, I suggest you go back and have a proper look at some of the threads on that link Micky, if you had done that (which is the reason I put the link there in the first place) it would have answered a lot of your questions.

                              Every time this this subject comes up there are loads of arguements and PMs going back and forth and we have to sort the problems out not you.

                              I don't know how long you have been using forums but they do get heated, anyone that has used this forum for a while knows, that there have been problems every time this subject has been brought up in the past. It is not long since the last time and it won't be happening this time either.

                              Thanks for keeping me right by the way, I assume by your answer that you do know all about forums and there workings??

                              I have never been to China yet no, maybe you could enlighten me on the fishing over there just in case I do go one day.

                              If you take a look at the rest of the answers on this thread both before and after I posted, then again it will tell you about how the subject has gone down in the past.

                              I certainly don't apologise for my post and it still stands, if it does kick off it will be gone, whether you or anyone else likes it or not.
