Buggin' part one........"Puttin''em out" (crawfish trapping)

[sam3841080]

Do you know where I can buy the plastic looking funnels that were on two of the traps? Also, I couldn't understand who they were made by?

[joystick006]

[joystick006]

@bvchg Ebay is a good place to check out the styles and prices, just beware of shipping fees. The black cylinder style works well and they are available in most sporting goods / hardware stores. Best o' luck to ya

[oiyabastard]

[jasoncos2]

thanks for all of your advice! I set out 4 traps overnight baited with fresh trout and caught just over 250 big dads!

[joystick006]

@jasoncos2 WOW! very nice!! a little melted butter and a cold beer and you're all set!! What kind of traps??

[jasoncos2]

@joystick006

I had 2 square frabills and 2 round frabills. the round ones seemed to do a little better... plus they are cheaper!

[joystick006]

@jasoncos2 thanx, I'll have to try one, cheaper is good

[ftree123]

what lake is that?

I live in washington

[jasoncos2]

do you change your depth as the water temp changes?

[joystick006]

@jasoncos2 nope usually just run them around 15 or 20 feet

[4kedhorn]

@joystick006

We are back home from the river now but I found out that the dock we were buggin' from was out of the water (like 40 feet to the waters edge) since October and only came up 3 weeks ago then was lowered for a week for flood control. It only fully came up the week before we arrived. I'm guessing the crawdads had not moved up to the rocks we were over. I'll try somewhere else in a few weeks. Thanks for the help. I'll try the licorice for sure.

[4kedhorn]

OK. we keep catching smallmouth bass with crawdads in them so I know crawdads are around. I have my pots soaking under the dock in about 8 to 10 feet of water amongst some rocks. bait in 1 pot is small mouth bass the other is bass and loose dog food. very slow current on the river. why no crawdads yet I wonder? Any hints that might help?

[4kedhorn]

I'm buying my boys a crawdad trap today. Thanks for the 2 videos. I'll bait with the small small mouth bass we caught last night. (Actually found crawdad claw parts in the bass' stomach.)How long do you leave the traps before checking them? May have more questions later.

[joystick006]

@4kedhorn

I usually soak mine overnight, but it depends on how well they are running

[coolguy2171]

hey are you the one that with the dollar bill bass? let me know want to ask you for some tips on crawfish

[joystick006]

@coolguy2171 that would be me

[Eastersuprise1]

what ror bait?

[joystick006]

Fresh fish

[coolguy2171]

@joystick006 hello

[joystick006]

@coolguy2171

hi

[SoCalRenegade69]

can you tell me anything about crawdad fishing in the winter

[joystick006]

@SoCalRenegade69 whats up socal, to the best of my knowledge "bugs" become dormant in the winter. I've heard some stories about people pulling them up while ice fishing but I think they just get snagged

[thomasbaird1]

what state are you fishing in in this video ?? man you got your stuff together, good job.

[joystick006]

Wa. state

[HonorBorther]

hey what about a creek do you know about creek crawdads i got the trap that you can stack any tips or trick you can tell me

[joystick006]

'fraid I don't know much about creek trappin', you may want to check out "Crayfishmates", you might find some info there. Good luck

[MrSoxFan99]

what are the trap brands?

[daiton64]

ise a 1 and 1/9 inch hole big enough?

[joystick006]

I would probably enlarge them, maybe to 1- 3/4 (?) I wouldn't go any bigger than 2", might make it to easy for them to escape. Good luck Dave

[daiton64]

thnx. i saw one today and i might have to cut the holes a bit bigger tho

[sef406]

you rock! How long do you let your traps soak?

[joystick006]

Usually I let em soak overnight (10 hrs +-), normally I fish until sunset and put em out just before I leave, then out real early the next morning to pull. That way they aren't so tempting to "less than honest" people.

[ascaye]

Don't people watch and listen to their post to find out if they can be seen and HEARD?

[BallisticPenetration]

What an awesome, genuine video! Loved it. It's fun to see how other ppl trap crawfish. That looks like a signal crawfish, I could be wrong.

GREAT WORK!

[sretyy]

what is better to use rotten or fresh bait?

[joystick006]

The fresher the better!!

[pearryginbugs]

You always did like big claws and tail.

[joystick006]

lobster tail and beer, my three favorite things
