Thinking of getting the wetsuit on and dropping one to see how they fair.

Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

You need to have a license to fish lobster and crab in this country.

got one the year before last. kept it on the boat with the intention of using it to collect bait while at anchor. never actually used it. eventually it rotted away. i think they are more for fresh water cray fish.

make sure your not caught lads. i fish them commercially in the summer and am frequently boarded by the navy. You cant have any legally and you can get fines up to €3000 for fishing without a licence!
