Hi all
The last few trips I had I have landed a couple of big spider crabs I am just wondering instead of tossing them back could I open them up and use the meat inside as bait or is it not a good bait at all. The crabs were about the size of a closed fist.
Thanks for taking the time to read

Re: spider crab
never used them as bait but they are very nice to eat just break the legs off and boil them up for a few mins and enjoy

Re: spider crab
Yep. Delicioius apparently. Caught a large one years ago, was about to throw it back and a Dutch couple asked for it. Think I made their holiday... would not be throwing them back now mind!
