Setting up Peeler Crab

We are now reaching a bait which a lot of people won't use because of the time involved adding it to a hook. The rewards are well worth the extra effort and cost (around 70p per crab). Peeler crab are loved by many of the more rarer fish and if you're fed up catching mackerel, garfish etc and want to try for bigger and better fish then peeler crab really is a bait worth all the extra hassle.

Bait Formula For Carp

Mix together one cup plain flour, two cups corn meal. Heat to boiling one pint water. Now turn the heat down so water only simmers.

Dip the flour and corn meal onto top of the water.

Use Crab For Fishing Bait



There are dozens of species of crabs in North American coastal waters, from the eraser-size Florida mole crab to giant Alaskan king crabs that won't fit in a washtub. All of them have in common that at some stage of their lives, they are high on the list of edibles for local game fish.
