Frozen peeler I find good but not had much success with frozen hermits. I’ve asked a fisherman in Brightlingsea if he can get me live ones and he reckons there’s not many crabs out there at all. He cites the “beast from the east” as the culprit. I went peelering 2 weeks ago and 2 of us managed to find a grand total of 3 in an hour and half so there’s definitely something going on.

Popular Post JonC Posted June 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2023 I contacted Nick Boyce this week, he hasn’t bothered catching hermits this year but he had some in the freezer from last year, He had no idea how they kept so only charged a pound per bag. There’s an average of 8 per bag so I took £25’s worth (that worked out no as 25 bags). suzook12, Geoff, Saintly Fish and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
