It’s the height of crabbing season here in Appledore! 🦀

A wonderful pastime for all ages, there's nothing quite like a bucket, a line, and a sunny day by the quay. Some of these little crabbers are even getting in some practice ahead of the Annual Appledore Crabbing Competition on 12th August!

And if you're wondering what the secret to catching the biggest crabs is... well, locals will tell you it's the special bait, only available from Johns of Appledore. 😉

Who’s ready to see who lands this year’s champion? Good luck to everyone taking part!
