Ditch crawfish are good bait. Don't use the ones you buy to eat they don't work worth a damn.good read man. so i guess crawfish would be a good bait for catfish?
You can build a rake out of wire mesh and just rake the ditches and do pretty good once it warms up some. The little ones that hatch out first make great bream bait.thanks Steve thats exactly what i was going to do. i have 2 crawfish traps i can set out and try to get some wild ones. ive only tried them once and didnt get any but i think i was trying in the wrong place.
Exactly like it but make it much bigger. Same exact design though.kinda like a sand flea rake?

Yeah and you'll want a much longer handle. Most sand flea rakes aren't but about 4ft long.kinda like a sand flea rake?
I've read about anything that I can get my eyes on about crayfish and supposedly they do really good in water areas with rocks and concrete. I've moved my trap around with very little success. I've used dead minnows and bacon. Hopefully my new spot will produce. What kind of design are your traps?im up here in central alabama and i get crawfish in my traps this time of year no matter if its warm or not. I pulled up to traps sunday morning when it was about 28 degrees here and they were both packed. My traps are homeade and small so when i say packed, i had 30 or so in each trap. very few babies. the ditch i put them in has alot of old concrete chunks in it and i think thats why it is such a good spot. I been baiting them with mustard flavor sardines and they cant resist em.
The new academy has some awesome traps.I've read about anything that I can get my eyes on about crayfish and supposedly they do really good in water areas with rocks and concrete.
