bait collecting in bannow.

Whilst out collecting bait , around Bannow Bay, I noticed there were a lot of tires and building block's exposed at low tide, obviously these are a haven for bait etc... crabs!! am i allowed to take a peek at these or would i be confronted?

i wouldnt go near a crab trap.. just wondering, as i was out with my missus the other day collecting Rag, and we were peaking at the tyres nothing much in them to be honest.

id say if you were looking in just now and again people wouldn mind but if you were down there every day you would certainly be confronted

If the lads that put in the hard work putting the traps down catch ya I don't think they would be too happy , just a word off warning, after all some lads rely on these traps to pay the bills .

I wouldn't

Id safely say u will be confronted if u got caught taking a peek, cause i know the majority of people that own those along that stretch of coast. Lot of hard work in maintaining them and keeping people out of them...

All the best SQ...

just wondering did bandit 55 buy the bottle of cop on or is he still riding shot gun on wex traps or is he tyred out

ah cheers lads , i didnt know the score so i came on to ask, ill stay away from them so..

just learning about peeler crabs etc.. all new to me. having a great time at it tho..
maybe ill put down a tyre of my own!!

also i wouldnt know how its done in Dublin, as it would be logistically stupid to drive from bannow to dublin to get bait and come back down again
