Where was that crayfish photo taken? It is a rusty crayfish and may be a new location.

Have any of you ever harvested your own crayfish for a meal?
I wanna try that some day.
Using fish as bait to catch crayfish seems bass ackwards.

Never for a meal. But many times for bait. Plenty of youthful trips started by spending an hour or so catching bait.
Softshells are awesome!

Yeah, mostly bass, though I have done it for trout as well, and it works.
I'm sure they work in the river too as you say, but they're hard to catch in the river down our way! It just gets too deep too quick. In streams, though, you find a nice rocky shallow area, and start picking up rocks upstream and towards shore.
Nebraska bridge is pretty well known perch and crappie spot, even trout in the early (pre) season, lol.
Cut the head off a carp and put it in the trap overnight. You'll have a bushel of crayfish the next day.FarmerDave wrote:
