I guess its safe to assume then that anyone with 600-1000 traps is on the dole, as I'd love to know how with a full time job they can get there everytide to check em. and with that number of traps its clearly a commercial enterprise, from 1000 traps, if they get 100 crabs a day, and assuming tacles shops are gonna try double up on prices that could be 50 quid a day, 7 days a week, is 350 quid a week, £1400 a month cash in hand as a little fiddle!! whilst getting the dole, housing benefit and the rest.

makes paying my taxes a joy knowing that

sry mark your assumption is wrong
i for 1 only sell my crabs to me friends at a fraction of the cost it would be in a tackle shop and to those who are at work and cant get down to do the traps , my traps are shared between 6 ppl [ and i only have about 150 ]
and im only down every other day

other crabbers who share part of the river i use are both in full time work and only occasionally get down aswell
