Trapping Redclaw Crayfish

[teammadmullet]

be careful of the bigger traps, dpi and epa dont like them due to the fact turtles can drown in them

[Meydan2011]

we didnt wait turtles)))

[metan75]

tasty!

[theodballturtleboy]

that turtle that you caught is called a pink bellied side neck

[jaredscoots11]

some dickheads stole my pots at north pine dam and they were sunk

[crayfishmates]

@jaredscoots11 yeah I know what that is like. We tend to put a blow up boat in and row them across where not many people get to and drop them out without ropes or floats. Tend to get more catch away from the normal fishing spots.

[jaredscoots11]

@crayfishmates yer i sunk them in knee deep water and they still found them so next time ill go neck deep :)

[crayfishmates]

@jaredscoots11

Yeah plenty of turtles in the dam that will swim off with the trap as well. We put ours in waste deep no problems.

[jaredscoots11]

@crayfishmates IT WAS TIED TO A TREE KNEE DEEP AND THEN THROWN OUT BUT THANKS FOR THE ADVICE

[crayfishmates]

@jaredscoots11

Then yeah dickheads stealing them.

[jaredscoots11]

@crayfishmates do you catch many out there ?

[crayfishmates]

@jaredscoots11

I have not fished it for a year. When the dam was low two years ago we would pull around the 200 mark out of the traps left to soak overnight.

Where abouts at the lake is this place?

[crayfishmates]

@pcp77 Hi mate. Pretty much anywhere except now is not the time for redclaw. They run same as the crabs any month with an R in it. SeptembeR, NovembeR, DecembeR, JanuaRy, you get the gist. Water too cold now.

[skiie]

I just wanna let people know although its already quite obvious. But these size crawfish are the type that can tear your skin off if you're not careful. It dosn't look like it but believe me.

[ddtruthfinder81]

is there no crocs there?

[elementsk896]

@ddtruthfinder81 no idiot

[FishyDude479]

DAMN thats a fast turtle!

[babindapride]

how are you going mate,

just wondering how deep the water is where your pots are laying? swim them out deep? and bait, there are so many stories from spuds to soap! what did you snag these ones on?

thanks heaps fella

[crayfishmates]

@babindapride No more than waist deep mate. I use either fresh mullet or cans of cat food (any particular flavor).
