I don't know if you call them the same in your neck of the woods but out here in the US we have porch pirates that steal packages and people set up all sorts of traps to annoy them for stealing. You're innovative maybe you can up with something like that for your pots lol. Like spray them with your most stinkiest dead bait. Or pinch their fingers lol I think you could come up with something.

    It's a good thing you're a fisherman and not a poker player. It's easy to see the joyous expression of a good pot at soon as you can see what's in it. Sometimes it's great keepers, but it's great to see that you have just as much joy from the more rare catches that you can teach us about. I'm stuck in Kansas and have never seen the ocean anywhere, I've done a lot of inland traveling, but just never was able to get away from the farm long enough for a seaside vacation. Most of my vacations centered around horse shows or going to purchase a new horse.

      On Skye last year, I found an eaten out lobster carapace on rocks where we know there’s an otter holt (and where seals don’t come out of the water). Claws were intact, so pretty good evidence that otters eat them too - where we’re lucky enough to have otters. Out of interest, did you weigh or measure that huge crab?
