Anyone here like to catch crawfish?

growing up we wiggled our toes in the creek and caught them with our feeters.
Now when you do your boil sure you can use some OLD BAY, but for that flavor that just kicks it a notch use some tony Chachere's Creole. Adds that little bit of heat but the flavor plain kicks OLD Bay's ass if you ask me.

I called your buddy Andy, and he told me that there are fewer Crawdad's this year due to the shortage of water. The Rice Growers are severely limited on water so they are not running as much over the rice boxes and the crawdads don't do as well with the warmer, less refreshed water. He's checking with a source in Colusa and getting me pricing for enough to fill a 30 gallon drum. Growers don't like letting someone that they don't personally know go running around their fields with traps apparently...
Too bad our place is full of Hombres or it would be a great spot for a mini MudBug cookoff.

We always fried frog's legs instead of boiling them, but then southerners fry everything. They do taste like chicken.
As for catching them, we'd just pick a piece of tall straw and poke at 'em. They will grab on to it. Also, if you see them in the water, distract them while you put a cup or net behind them, then if you reach towards them, they'll propel themselves backwards into the trap.
Granted, this was in ponds and streams in Tennessee and Mississippi. California crawdads might be more sophisticated. We never used Old Bay, we always used Zatarain's. I have a gigantic jar of it I brought from home, along with my carefully hoarded White Lily flour.
...and btw, Jason is wrong. I love camping, but it's too damn cold out here. It's no fun getting in the tent then shivering all damn night and not being able to sleep. I used to camp a couple times a month until I came out here and froze my ass off. I promptly took my camping gear back to the south, and it's still there.
Teardrop trailers are cute, Matt. I'd own one.
Edited to add: if somebody wants to put this together, I'll bring my gallon jug of Zatarain's and a bigass pot.

To clear something up, you're not cold when there's a damn fire and warm sleeping bags!

Lindsay, Anthony, and I went camping once here... It was 94 at night... so hot we decided to hike in, in the middle of the night
it's all in where and when you go.
I just went a few months back and camped next to the river, it was in the 70 through the night and very comfortable during the day

Thank you very much for looking into this, but I was hoping to catch them myself. Most of the fun for me is in the catching.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. Unless you like the taste of spicy creek mud.
Awesome.
