Cool trap. My dad used to do something similar with wire screen, like for windows or screen doors, to make mouse traps with. Instead of the ramp, he fashioned a cone and left the wire ends at the small end. The mouse could go in, but when he tried to get out, he would poke his nose on the wires at the end of the cone. I might do a video on that some day. Anyway, liked your trap that was basically free, since you were utilizing nothing but junk. Keep 'em comin'.
I use a peice of mesh I found about 5" by 10" bent into a [ shape as a stand for my canteen cup so it doesnt wobble in the fire. If you have any scrap that would be a good use.
@SocialFever piece of beef jerky, rotting meat of some kind, fish works good, chicken, just about anything realy. And when you set the trap, you might want to put a tent stake through it so it doesnt drift off, or a small rock in the back.
Born and raised on a crawfish farm in Louisiana. That trap WILL work!
Only suggestion would be to check it twice daily. If the crawfish get their fill, they'll figure out how to get out eventually, or eat each other. Checking it more often is better than waiting and hoping it will "fill up"
from one critter to another nice trap
