find a rocky area at low water and stick your hand in under the edges of bolders and big stones you may also find many other sea creatures from conger eels to lobsters OWCH! :lol: I,VE SEEN A LAD GET 15 PEELERS FROM UNDER ONE BOLDER :shock: but you need to be brave and not mind getting wet :mrgreen:
