[QUOTE="KDM, post: 40286, member: 314"] The best luck I've had trapping crayfish to eat was to find small creeks that had a depth between 6 inches and a foot with rocky/gravel bottoms. The shallowness kept the larger smallmouth and other crayfish predators down to a minimum and that equated to larger crayfish. Used a standard minnow trap I modified so the crayfish could crawl in under water. Fresh fish heads wired to the bottom of the trap seemed to work the best for bait. You have to watch out for racoons though. Those masked raiders LOVE to flip the traps over to get the bait. Good Luck, those little critters are sure tastey. Post of pic of your catch Please. I'd like to see a basket full of them. [/QUOTE]
