alternative peeler collection ?

#1 Post by Tuco »

i'm looking for help and suggestions on methods for alternative ways you can collect peeler other than the more common tyres, pipes, tiles and rockpooling....
do any of you guys have others ways and methods of collecting your crab ?
it would also be interesting to hear what type of ground your getting them from.
thanks

With the weather warming up you will start to find them under weed in muddy estuaries or against pier walls
You will spot the cock crab first, with the peeler under him. If you do start to lift large stones looking for peelers maker sure you put it back down the same way. Putting a stone about the size if a tennis ball at one side will allow a crab to crawl under, handy for the next time you go for a pick.
