Shore crabs are starting to peel now Ben but not in great numbers - try the last week in May, first week in June as this is normally a good time and it will help you learn - you want to be looking at shallow rocky coastlines. Remember to place all rocks back the way you found them

Pancracker is a word I havent heard for years but I think its Yorkshire slang for someone on the dole trying to make cash in any other way than having to get a job. My streets full of em and many have tried to raid my traps over the years

Sadly that's true everywhere. I have great sympathy for people who cant take work because they are ill. But the buggers who claim the dole and make money at my expense need a bullet. Sorry if that's judgemental (well not really sorry - shoot them I say

).

the way i see it is if there not ill if they dont work the dole should offer them a job if they turn it down stop paying them dole why should we the tax payer pay for them to stay at home

its not as if a specific spot has been mentioned he just said crabs are starting to peel. lets be fair, i appreciate giving specific areas away isnt the sensible thing to do but by saying that i cant see what the fuss is about

Hands up sorry

I didnt realise there was a bit more to that post
I do totally agree with you smokey bait locations should be kept secret i only read the post as we see it now and thought it was harmless enough but as i say didnt realise there was more to it previously
Sorry again pal

I always thought a 'Pancracker' was a rather large sh*te.

We used to buy them in the early 90's off some lads of about 13 who fished up near the old boatsheds in Whitby for about 10p each! Usually they'd give us (lads in our 20's) some 'sterling advice' too- "Aye, you'll catch loads of sh*t-dabs on them mate".
