Edible crab can\'t be used as bait in the NE region, which goes as far south as Donna Nook on the Lincolnshire coast.
http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/nesfc/bylaws.html for download. Bylaw XX is the one that applies.

Not sure about further south, as the Eastern region website is down at the moment.

In my paper copy of the Eastern Sea Fisheries Bye Laws (13 December 2001), Byelaw 5 prohibits the use of edible crab for bait.

Eastern Fisheries region covers from Donna Nook, Lincolnshire to Dovercourt, Essex.
