- This sea fishing how to video guide shows i keep my peeler crabs for sea fishing baits in my live bait tanks, and shows how the sump filter, and bait tanks are set up. and how the live bait tanks work. i keep peeler crabs in the crab tanks to bring them on so the crabs peel faster, and i then freeze the peeler crabs down and vacpac the shore crabs, for use as fishing bait later in the year. / @starfishseafishing

You will still need a bit of basic fish keeping knowledge and understanding the nitrogen cycle and PH levels and how to cycle a fish tank etc to get the best out of the tank set up.
Thanks for sharing how you set up the tanks, mate. 👌👌
cheers lee

Also shared this on my cardigan bay Fishing adventures page on FB for you
Thank you for the video
cheers Dave certanly a must have bait for hounds rays and codling finding a spot is the hardest part
@@StarfishSeaFishing yes it is I think I know of one but waiting for lockdown now
TBh i think its still worth having the tanks even if you buy in live peelers
Fairs dos paul i hope i get to ur level m8 unreal great vids
thanks Gary
Enjoyed first crab tank video and this is good also. A lot of lifting though mate.
o yes vern that's why i use the tanks i only have to go and get water once a week now saves all the back and forth trips as well as collecting the crabs themselves.
Neat set up ....pity i live so far from coast
cheers stu mate
Love this mate.. where did you go to fill up your jugs? Looks like a decent little place to fish!
Neat idea pure dedication for perfect bait :-) will those plastic boxes holding the main tank up be strong enough to hold all that weight?
yes there fine been like that for two years with no problems but i do need to get around to making a proper stand for them

Thanks for this video pal, I'm setting up my own tanks now, very similar to yours. Iv been keeping some in a single smaller tank with a small pump and filter and the crabs love it but I have to do a water change just about everyday atm so it will be nice to get a proper setup going. Should be able to fill them up tomorrow and start 1st cycle. Do you have to top it up with fresh water occasionally to keep the salinity down?
yes 25% water changer every week
Hi mate. Which temperature for the Peeler crabs?
Great Video Paul, very similar to the set up we have for our tanks but we went large scale and have 8 treys. Some great tips there and will definitely put them in to practice.
Do you add any bacteria initially to the tanks to get the cycle started?
yes mate at the start just to kick it off with the cycle and i let them run for a few weeks with a couple of water changes to keep it in check
@@StarfishSeaFishing that’s exactly what I was told to do. Last year was our first year at it and it didn’t work at all. Learnt a lot more the past 12 months about the set up and the amount of Media we actually need to add to it.
Where did you get the larger media balls from?
Any update video on how the peelers are doing please
I have handed my traps over to a friend this year as I am working away from home this year so I have no time to keep them this year
Alright bud, good clear info on the crabs. What method would you use for sand eels, I have tried but failed badly. 😂😂.
you can keep them in a aerated bucket for a few hours with not much trouble they will last longer in this type of set up as it is filtered and has loads of oxygen in the water but there very fickel to keep
What pipe connectors do you use for the inlet and outlet ?
sorry for the late reply i got them on ebay sorry i dont have the link
Nice mate, I'm thinking of farming my own crab ... how much will this setup cost to make and will it keep crab that's hard backs till they peel ? ... cheers 🍻
the crabs i keep are in the very early stage of the peel so there just stating but not ready to use so i keep them in tanks till they are ready and starting to see their backs lifting, the cost is up to you or what you use you can not keep hard back crab they have to be in a stage of the peel hard backs will eat the peeler crabs
Like a koi pond set up but smaller
pretey much pete no need for protein skimmers etc as i am only keeping crabs and they are very hardy things to keep as long as the water is fresh a clean and well aerated they live quite happily still need to watch nitrogen levels ph etc thou just basic fish keeping water changes etc
Hi mate, do you not find the crabs start peeling really quickly in the tank or do you find it’s due to temperature change that make them peel, enjoyed the video mate👍
yes that is the idea the vast majority will be frozen down for later in the year so i have crab on a daily basis ready to freeze if i want to keep then for fresh i will slow them down in the fridge in trays like everyone eles this method help me hold lots of crab i can go thou and freeze down quickly but they tend to only need checking two times a day i dont miss many but i do miss a few
@@StarfishSeaFishing ok mate that’s what I thought, I tried them in a big bucket before just with an air stone and the majority of them peeled within a couple of days but wasn’t sure if it was due to the temperature
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing the water will stay cooler with more movement in the tanks and in feb march and april i dont have much problems with temps i dont keep crab in the summer i am all done by then
@@StarfishSeaFishing cheers for the info mate, looking forward to seeing you out and about
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing thanks mate
I am not having much success with the crab's peeling the same last year ,just wondering if you need to feed them while in the tanks so they grow and then peel excellent video very informative
no need to feed them they feed of there yoke sacks when they molt the crabs have to be already in the first stage of the molt when added to the tanks and are ready when there backs start to lift
many thanks for your reply what are the yolk sacks?
are they the white sacks that are sometimes under the male /female sexual organs . I know on the female they are the eggs so do not collect them
