Spiny Lobster = Crawfish/Crayfish

Extremely rare on our coast. Almost wiped out by divers during the 60s and 70s as they are easy to catch. By legend their tails are capable shearing your fingers off.

If you did see one, it is only the second report of one I have come across in S Devon in the last 10 years. Definitely one to leave.

My mate and I caught one off The Smalls in Pembrokeshire about 7 years ago. The Smalls was swarming with them. Didn't realise they were so rare in these parts otherwise I'd have left him.

I was refering to the SW coast when I said 'our'. It's good to hear that they are still thriving i some areas.

That's all we have here, Southern Rock Lobster - none of the conventional big clawed blue buggers.

The legend is about the same on the furphy scale as the chestnut about a swan breaking your legs. The main problem with em is the spines, it's like trying to grab a hedgehog, you even get spiked (although to a lesser extent) through a pair of neoprene gloves. They have two very sharp downward pointing claws and a good set of jaws on the front end which they chew into you with too.

I've actually sworn off catching crays now anyway. If I want one it's cheaper & less time consuming to buy him.
