Looks to me like the crayfish will have the advantage if it stays out of the crab`s reach and uses the jab. If it moves inside though I can see the crab busting it up in a very dirty fight.

On a serious note though its all rather worrying. Maybe they should change the law so that anyone caught stealing fish should have a signal crayfish or a mitten crab attached to their danglies until they repent and promise not to do it again. Bagsy i`m not the one to attach it though /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

i have heard of them being in the tidal thames,howver i fished at kew bridge last week and only saw our native mud crabs.i understand they are also present in other tidal rivers, i believe they can only breed in salty or brackish water so are unlikely to venture too far upstream,and they eat crayfish.

LOL, I`m ashamed to say the same thing. But I hadnt done anything deserving of their attentions I hasten to add. Nasty little buggers.
