Crabbing with the kids - Dale - Pembrokeshire

Moo with a drop net, from my experience the most efficient way for children to catch crabs.

My daughter and I managed to catch 35 crabs in around 20 or 30 minutes from the jetty at Dale, Pembrokeshire.

We used a crab line and a drop net baited with bacon and sardines.

The drop net was very efficient catching 3-8 crabs every 2 to 3 minutes.

The crab line works, but the crabs easily fall off, when raising the bait, with the crabs hanging on. So it's best to place a net under it, as you kids pull up the bait. This catches any fallers!

We also caught a single whitebait.
