Hey folks, how you all doing??
I was down at a small pier the last evening with my girlfriends niece, and we were using bacon tied to a bit of line to catch the crabs that were around the pier, they were coming in thick and fast. Some were big enough but others were quite small...
Could any of these be used as bait?..I'm guessing these would all be hard shell and not peelers but I could be wrong..
Cheers
Using bacon caught crabs....?
