Hi all, never tried peeler!! once I've got the nipper from under a stone and want to use for bait, do I de-shell it then just on the hook and away??
Saw an add for frozen peeler saying you need to de-lung them!! where are the lungs/how much meat would I lose and should I bother?? cheers

never bother de-lunging them my self.
some swear by it others don't.
they have lungs in when fish find them in the wild.

Thanks for posting that Lendusaworm.

I've often wanted to have a go at catching and using crab but was never sure what to look for and how to prep them.

I'll grit me teeth (and wear big gloves and try not to squeal!!) and have a go now I'm armed with that info.

PS I was eatin' me dinner but never mind it was worth it!!

Hi Digit

I realy think you shouldnt bother using peeler crab. What to do is put them in a box and post them to me hehehe!
