| selsy west beach tonite Looks like the weather is going to settle down for tonight so am heading over to selsy in the hunt for the hounds. Im currently sat on the jetty on the eastern road, crab net in the water so hopefully il have a nice choice of hard backs to take with me. Ive always fished with peelers for smuts but i know they like hard backs aswell so it should be a good test tonight, altho im not entirely sure how to bait up a hard back but im sure il work it out lol. is anyone else heading over that way tonight?

| Re: selsy west beach tonite remove the back legs and the front claws - push hook through one back leg socket and out through the other and whip with lots of elastic.. two small crabs better than one biggie .. pierce top of shell with knife just the once to allow juices out . good luck if you get out boys ![]() __________________ Shore Species 2012: Dab-Flounder-Herring-L.S.Dogfish-Pouting-Shore Rockling-5 Bearded Rockling-Small Eyed Ray-Turbot-Whiting |

Only had 3 casts with an hour between each but no sooner had my sinker hit the water my line was caked in weed!!!! Needless to say i packed up way before high tide and came home. Its a shame, i had high hopes for tonight. Hey-ho cant win em all eh. Mark |

| Re: selsy west beach tonite shame to hear you got weeded out mark, as to hardbacks yes they work , i was catching on them last night albeit only a couple of smallies,between the weed at another venue. i hook larger ones as described by s & m but remove legs from only one side & bind remaining legs to snood or top pennel hook. small crabs ( about 20p size i just kebab 3-4 up the shank of a varavas bm or simalar type hook. __________________ beer so many venues, so little time. |
