easy enough to do, make a pot at home , loads of ideas on you tube and when walk out to your chosen spot to the lowest tide you can make sure she is well weighted or tied down, go and sit on the beach for six hours and come back to see whats in there
apparently some people use boats but that idea will never catch on lol

You can also buy proper lobster pots on ebay. Don't drop your pot and leave the beach though, local fishermen will steal it even though you're breaking no laws. I had mine stolen last summer. The next day my pot had been put back in a mile away and without a boat I had a hell of a swim to retrieve it.
I try not to catch crabs since they do make you itch teribly. And i think the wife would complain.
Silly as it sounds but would you get crabs/lobsters on the Solent in Southampton being thats its an estuary?
