They are usually around for about three weeks for their breeding season then disappear again. Arrived at Hayling around mid-May but all gone now probably to deep water.

Pretty sure they don't feed before they peel. Fishing at norton one night a few years back mate and we were pulling loads of tinnie spiders out on our mackerel baits. It was a good night! |

Pretty sure they don't feed before they peel. spiders unlike shore crab will feed during the peeling process,i've even had them when their crinkley in a baited drop net. i think the main peel is over male wise,i did manage 25 the other morning,only 3 were male,my guess is the female molt is about to kick off ;D forgot to mention,check for peelers as you would shore crab,BUT if the new leg section has'nt got the brown spike.it ain't ready ;D |

If they are a tinnie they have already peeled so thats why they are hungry Dave trying to get food to build them selfs back up quick before they get munched!but have already lost the peeler sent.

Yeah they don't usually feed (or do much at all actually  ) whilst waiting to peel. |
