StillLearnin Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Anybody trap crawfish? I made a trap for them awhile back and set it in the creek behind our house with a can of bacon grease in it. It is almost impossible to keep the coons from dragging it off. I got tired of looking for the trap the next day and gave up. I have had better luck using a net right after a big rain when the water gets up into the grass a little bit.

StillLearnin Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Anybody trap crawfish? No ...No... No... I set it in the creek. The creek isn't very deep. And the racoons just reach down and pull them out weight and all. I guess I need a bigger weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Anybody trap crawfish? i dont know about traping them, but i know when i was younger we would sain the creeks where we lived, saining is kinda like pot luck you caught every thing, snakes you name it, we caught it, keep what you want throw the others back. we'd get our trot line bait. and the crawdads to eat, nothing like poor boys lobster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
