Oh jeez! No no no! That must be terrible(?!) being "stuck" in the Carribean... How awful!

Yeeeeah, I'm NOT about to stick my fingers into any old hole... ...... My Mrs would be VERY veeeery upset

Thanks very much!

Hello all! So I've recently joined this site as I was looking for details on how to DIY a lobster pot and dimensions etc and stumbled across thus site! Bonus! I'm 49 and live in Cornwall with my German partner and our two kids (6 and 2½). I can often be found outside (usually taking photos)...

You're looking for a crevice in the rock that goes under the rock, partially submerged. Telltale sign will be the first third of the tips of their antennae sticking out in the water. Other signs (crab included) will be broken bits of seashell in a "litter pile" outside of the crevice. John...

Spearfishing UK sell this as a crab/lobster hook.... https://www.spearfishing.co.uk/foraging-gear/picasso-crab-and-lobster-extractor/?attribute_size=40cm&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw--K_BhB5EiwAuwYoym4SmGx_yY9abiIJ3qp-q8ESW6xr4Kon0sILkhwkr-pSXCg48-y9SBoClq4QAvD_BwE In light of the fact that this...

The hook is for helping to remove lobster and edible crab from hiding places in rockpool rock crevices. The spike is for skewering fish and flatfish in rockpools. I'm adapting it later on down the line so I can turn it into a basic fishing pole. In the hook (top) end I'm going to add a basic...

Find a squeezy bottle with a nozzle and put the batter mix in that. It's easier than a tupperware type container to stash in your kit. If you get a freezeable wine bottle sleeve, you can put it around the bottle and wrap it in a towel to keep it cold for longer?

I've progressed from being an Emmet (maybe), I'm now a blow-in who has settled here. Luckily we've had 2 kids since being here so they kind of qualify us a little more.

So I made this from a bamboo pole, a large hook on one end and a weird "squashed butcher's hook/tent peg thing" that I found at my local hardware shop. I hacksawed the opposite end off to give me a straight spike. In hindsight I'll use a 9" nail when I make the next one. I used two rubber end...

So I made a DIY Lobster trap as well as a DIY Shrimp trap. It took me a few hours and I went out and set them today in a very deep rockpool at one of my local beaches in Cornwall. They cost me the grand total of £0.00 as I had most of the ingredients, plus I scavenged the tubs themselves...

Cool.. Thanks for that, I couldn't quite figure it out

I want to post images of the lobster trap I made, as well as the beach foraging pole. I can't find out how to do so, can someone please help?
