Hi All

Yep you are right(again) Hangler. Been zooming around Fishmaster Google, and as I see it. Cook zee crab. Break off the legs, take of top shell,remove gills,(deadmans fingers) remove guts. Snap crab in half, then roll towards where legs were sticking out and out pops the crabmeat.

Well done there Jeep, like your pot, good design esp the walk in. I intend to tow a few of my pots out also.

Well hullo Gary, you off the bite mate, you are getting more like a Hawkes Bay Snapper as every day goes by. Yep the Opera Net is a goodie, but a little light for any kind of surf running. I have purchased some heavier ones that will do the trick. And of course I have a couple of the Opera Style.

There are many options out there. Marine Deals have a good assortment, and there are quite a few sorts on TM.

I went kinda overboard, like I usually do, and now have 10 pots/traps including a collapsible cray pot that will catch crabs.

Perhaps I had better change my name to Crabit instead of Hardy.

Oh, I also intend to have a go at Freshwater Crawlies, as they are good eating to, and I reckon would make good bait

Cheers Trev aka " Hardy Crabit"
