crabs as bait

fishing with crabs what species can i expect to pick up ?

Excellent bait for Bass, Flounder, Smoothound, Cod, Gilthead, Wrasse.

ahh has there ever been any reports of it picking up fish that some would say it normally wouldnt like conger ,ling etc jw for boredom purpose what strange fish it picks up ,,, does it pick up dogfish or has anyone any reports of it ?

Crab is the one bait that will catch all species.

reason for asking was looking at a few marks in kinsale and seen some produce "apparently" flounder dogfish and others conger ray etc and seeming already have aload of crab was gonna just try cover the half the mark with a few random spots sort of with crab and see what happens

Dogfish take crab along with anything else you throw out there will catch flounder on them too no hassle

would i be better of with a 2/0 pennel or 2 hook rig think the hooks are 1/0

Start off with a size 4 or size 2 and you'll soon find what kind of species are about.

Quick question Guys, will a frozen crab be good?
