Peelers

well i guarantee if you came down on your own and not in your drones your opinion would change! do a poll john and see who comes out on top!!!!!!

To be honest with you i cant understand what you mean by this

! can you get bait in dublin john????? no? ever wonder why? !!!

I gather all of my bait in Dublin,and as a rule i dont and never have and think i never will buy bait ever wonder why ? what?

by the way setting tyres is creating a mini eco system for crabs to bread! !!!

it is also causing trip hazards and eye sores to the general public that dont realise why they are put there.
for crabs to bread, i think you mean breed! the chances are that you will be removing females that are about to moult so in reality they will never become breeding stock if they are going to be used as bait so your mini eco breeding system idea would not have a peeled peelers leg to stand on

all i can say lads is keep doing what your doing and let karma sort you out! no point in debating something with people who are just plain ignorant! good luck and god bless!

karma who is she,i used to know one called carmel is this what your on about

sparky you dunce !are rag and lug not live???? duh! im entitled to say what i want when i want reguardless of how many post i have! and i dont respect anglers that show no respect to others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no not many of them in dublin!!!

your right there, they are all down in wexford fishing and spending their hard earned cash on the wexford economey, and on the way home they go ROBBING what you think are your CRABS

thats your defense! so long as you spend money in wexford you can just go around raping the place of bait and fish! cause the last time i checked there wast a decent fish to be had up that way!

i dont respect anglers that show no respect to others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been around for quite a while and i have a huge amount of respect for anglers young and old.
I dont see where respect comes into it , when all we are talking about is putting crabs into our buckets

i dont get you! ok, hypothetically if i say im not alright with you doing my tyres and you do them anyway how is that being respectfull????????????????????????????????????????????????

thats your defense! so long as you spend money in wexford you can just go around raping the place of bait and fish! cause the last time i checked there wast a decent fish to be had up that way!

Dont talk about raping waters and quality of fish to me,if you only knew what you were on about,
The feckers that have this place destroyed are your own poxy mussell dredging boats that have came and destroyed nearly the entire east coast all because of greed.
it's them that are the Raping barstewards.

UP THE DUBS AND THERE GREAT BAIT

up wexford and its great fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sparky you dunce !are rag and lug not live???? duh! im entitled to say what i want when i want reguardless of how many post i have! and i dont respect anglers that show no respect to others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I see 12 post now and next time you post a reply to me spell my name right maybe you spent to much time going for your bait on HW instead of LW and the salt has muddled up what ever is between the ears which i dont think is a lot..... As for buying your bait guess up dont want the hassle of digging or maybe that's to complicated for you.... Great way to get yourself notice on the site and you wonder why nobody has welcomed you.... Respect you better look the word up in an Oxford Dictionary or shoud the be a WEXFORDDictionary

sparky what are on about???? this coming from the lad who digs his bait dead!!!!!!!!!hahahahahahahahahahaha! i have notin between my ears! good 1 ya tool! are your just not use to people standing up to yas! sure the dubs know best dont they!

Enough already with the slagging and bickering. Any more of that and I'm locking the thread.

Back to the topic please lads.

first of all bandit55 what part of sparkey+1 post says he digs dead bait ? and he right you come on here ranting and giving out about all anglers from dublin now whos showing disrespect to people you dont know as for john and sparkey they are respected member of the forum and there points very true as for you i think you on here to stir the s*** so snap out of it and think b4 you post

Just in case tight lines hadn't noticed my last post before he posted, I'll repeat myself:

Enough already with the slagging and bickering. Any more of that and I'm locking the thread.

Back to the topic please lads.

this is a reply to john1 from DUBLIN believe it or not!haha! who thinks whoever gets to the tyres first is welcome to rob the tyres because whoever spent hour on end transporting and digging in the tyres is doing it for johns benifit!!!! everyone says ah the dubs aint that bad! here is a clear example of their take on respect for other anglers! and how they think they own everything! he wouldnt give it a second thought and would raid anyones tyres if he came across them! here is an example john maybe it might get you thinking........ imagine you spent an entire week cleaning your gaff and rented a skip only to find that all the neighbours filled it while you were sleeping! how would you feel? the same applies to tyres! there not yours so stay out of them! i just spent an entire week dragging tyre after tyre through the mud and it was my back breaking work that gives me the right to say those peelers are mine! any time your in Wexford there is an invite to come do my tyres and see what happens!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you can claim ownership to the coast then it is First up Best dressed tbh

If you lay claim to the traps then register them by all means.

Then go to court for dumping

No need to come on this forum and stake claim to what can never be your's

Hi lads,didn't want to hijack the other post,was wondering about collecting a few,would they be caught from piers,just for my own use,any advice welcome

its great to see that no one hijacked your post tex if you do get a few let us know what you catch with them,I am interested because a few lads I was talking to didn't rate them very good for fishing along the west coast

[ShaneH]

What has respect got to do with anything the chap has every right to say what he wants on this forum and I agree with what he is saying you shouldn't be robbing other peoples traps you's wouldnt go out on a boat and rob lobster pots so why would you do it to crab traps

ON topic, There is peelers in dublin and I have got them from rock pools, under rocks and anywhere they can hide.


OFF Topic: Admin sorry for this but I cant bite my tongue

First off im a Dublin angler, and fishing in Dublin is good if you know where to fish!....

Second I am no different to any other angler out there just because I am born in Dublin!

Third Bandit! Peeler crabs can be collected form ANYWHERE they want to hide under a rock, not just in wexford.

Forth, It seems that dubs are being classed as poaching munchers here and I take a very big offense to that, I am a catch and release man, I also dig my own bait and only what I need.

Bandit, If I am on a beach collecting and I see others traps, guess what. I will not go near them and Im a dub? explain that!
Also you talk of respect, let any man come to the Dublin shore and he will be welcomed and helped, let any dub travel outside and he will be stoned to death.... Grow up and earn your respect.

Now if you want I can show you a few spots in Dublin for collecting and I can actually bring you to spots in Dublin and wicklow that on the right day will fish better than wexford!

Just let me know...............

ON Topic, During the summer I bring my kids lookin for peelers and theres plenty of spots.. guess where.. DUBLIN.. theres also tyres along a protected stretch of bay a designated SAC, any given day you'll half a dozen or so at them, but where I find mine are away from that area and its easier going. I dig my own bait guess where... DUBLIN and bandit55, the rag i dig would bring tears to your eyes. I fish all over the country as a quick view of any post I have put up will see....North South East and West why? Cause i Can alittle thing called FREEDOM.

Now Tex one method i use for finding crabs is go out on the Low water (as its running out) and you know the handrake? its got three prongs? I use that to lift weed at the tidal rocks, make sure you place rocks down the same way, (you'll offten find peelers under the weed just at the edge of the rocks, If in summer during warmer weather, the males will be on top of female peelers, the males will be hard, yet the females will be in peel (and the males will be agressive, seemingly they dont like being disturbed)

By the exactly as Sparks43 said ..Permit please... Just a question thought and this is serious, regarding tyres, when a tyre is "Dumped" How are we (anglers in general) supposed to know who it belongs to?? Think about it? is Your name and address on it? are they colour coded? cause you could have ANYONE say ..."their MY tyres, mind you Im sure the EPA would LOVE to hear that!" Lads that go pot fishing Most use ID buoys to mark them, the ones I know have paid permits to do so.
