Hello,

Quick question? Anyone here fish for crawfish? I have not had a good crawfish boil in years, no where up here sells them anymore, and finding them has become a nightmare.

Re: Crawfish!!!

Where are you Dennis?

I know some folks who trap them in the sloughs of the Mississippi.

Re: Crawfish!!!

Crawfish season is all but over down here. You're hard pressed to find anyone selling them down here now. You can make up a wire mesh trap and bait it with just about anything that stinks and catch crawfish.

Re: Crawfish!!!

The traps are easy to make, don't have to be anything pretty or flashy, just have to catch fish.

Use some wire mesh like so..... http://www.bwire.com/

Connect it ad fasten it into the form that you desire and bingo, you are in business. Due to the lack of traps being sold, you can also order a bunch of mesh, make a few traps, sell them to those looking for them and make a few bucks. Just an idea.
