Crawfish!!!

[DennisM]

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.

Where are you Dennis?

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

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.
