trappa 518 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Good day chinking with my boy. We usually go down just for a bit of sport, chinking out a few crabs and rarely taking any home, more for the fun but couldnt refuse this fella! Didnt take any photos once we got the lobster as we did a runner back with it. Got it back and had him for tea, beautiful. Exactly on the size for taking so we were happy with that.

Malt 379 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Awesome, and a great result with the lobster! My kids love searching for crabs! You ever come across any of those velvet swimming crabs? Nasty little shits they are, fair play! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I think I'd have a fit if I was expecting a 2" crab and that beast came out. Hope it was a tasty as it looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Okay. I've got to ask ..... How does one " Chink "? What's that all about, please? Term ~ and probably practice ~ I've never come across before. And, where the bloody hell was that lobster?! Scary to think That sort of thing might be lurking anywhere not deep in the sea!

mole trapper 1,705 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Funny enough, I have a book here called fishing for lobsters crabs and prawns by b r faunthorpe, very old book but really interesting, all about this sort of thing, even covers using a terrier to find fingers at low tide!

ferreterni 29 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 We have had half size lobsters and good sized crabs when fishing up here on the north antrim coast. Just got a couple of cheap pop up traps n throw em in by rocks and harbour walls. Missed a keeper of a crab as it couldnt get in the entry, we could see it plain so water wasnt that deep. Got a couple of frames made up and just waiting to find some decent material for mesh, and hopefully get some keepers. Catch lots of rockling in them too, and see a good bit on making prawn traps from plastic bottles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
