Fresh Peeler Crab

Gear

Collected some fresh peeler crab at low tide for the first time in months, since I've been mostly lure fishing all summer, I got about a dozen peelers and 2 softies. Anyway I get to the mark 2 hours before high tide, this is a rock mark fishing into water about 8-16ft deep so shallow enough. I cast out a soft crab first and almost straight away I was into a decent smooth hound, measured 90cm. After that I put out a soft crab again, and straight away again I was into a fish, another smaller smooth hound, this one was deep hooked and I spent ages trying to sort it after which I decided to call it day as I'd probably be catching smooth hounds all night and that gets boring pretty quickly :lol: I'll probably try someonewhere else in the next few days with the leftover bait!
