This weekend I went digging for wonderworm, and it was neap tide - which means it was a total failure...
I did discover a large number of brown crabs, and it got me thinking - crabs make great mussel cracker bait - what else would take a crab? I've heard of a surprise Galjoen, but they obviously prefer redbait.
Please would you help produce a list of fish that you have regulary caught using crab, something like this:
Fish Species, Type of Crab, Location, any other detail.
So, I'll start:
Mussel Cracker, Brown Crab, George, Southern Cape - 5/0 hook to match the size of the crab and lots of cotton. Hook through the hole where I removed the back legs.
Please feel free to add and I look forward to your crab catches.
