A little trick i learned for dealing with skeeters and other biting bugs ( even ticks) when fishing, especially if your wading and/or repeatedly getting wet is to use Vic's Vapor Rub, it doesnt come off in the water and you just put it right above your boots, on your wrists and on your neck. It works better than any of the sprays and lasts for hours(just apply it liberally with latex gloves on so you dont get it on your hands because the fish dont like it either

[@samuelnelson7429]

Never ceases to amaze me the amount of fun a person can have over there, for such a small amount of money. Once you have the traps it’s just the bait and gas money. What an epic place to live.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Amen brother

[@TheJondavid11]

This is how we did it when I was a kid in the 70’s in north La in ditches just off road. We used chicken neck bones for bait. Had big safety pin through net to clip chicken in place. Nets would be so heavy with crawfish we would fill a 55 gallon oil drum and every ice chest in neighborhood in a day. Us kids would run the line of nets after they had sat long enough for the adults to fished one can of beer. Then set them out again and wait for the next can of beer to be finished.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

That’s exactly why I did this video a throw back to the good old days

[@kennethjackson7574]

Chicken backs work well, too. You just poke a hole through one of the hip sockets and run a bit of wire through it to secure it to the net.

[@dontrump9362]

We used to crawfish in the spillway. We would use beef melts and pyramid nexts. We used metal shower curtain hooks to hook the beef melts to the net. Every time we ran the nets we would squeeze the beef melts to release the blood. Muddy up the water is a must do…👍 we had an inner tube that we would put a hamper basket inside that we would dump the mud bugs in. We would catch a sack or two in a couple of hours then go home and get our boil on. 😂😂😂 fun times. Enjoyed the video Jared. Have a great week ole boy! 👍🇺🇸🙏

[@dylanjaufre9854]

Yoo what part of the spill way please tell me . I’m looking for a good crawfishing spot

[@lennywells51]

Jared, that was some wicked weather yesterday. It centered right on Prairieville (us)!!! I saw one of your recent videos about the litter problem. I live in Ascension Parish for the last 45 years. I met a guy picking up litter about 4 yrs ago. I joined him but then he had health problems and had to stop but I kept coming. I formed a network with a few local businesses that would allow me to use their dumpsters. I met with the parish president Clint Cointment and received permission to leave the litter, in bags, and just phone it in to his people. Everytime I went out I tried to educate people about littering. Eventually the fishermen would holler "Hey photo man I got my trash bucket!" I feel like I'm making a difference it Ascension Parish! Sorry to get long winded. Lenny Wells/Naturally Louisiana photographer.

When I was a little kid, old school was a string and a piece of hot dog.

[@jerrytorres328]

Awesome video one of my favorite places to crawfish get a lot of people hitting that spot up way way early when the crawfish are small and they keep everything gets fished out quick the food looked amazing too.

[@cathyknox935]

You make a good meal out of what you catch great job you always do your thing keep doing it 💪💯

[@LeoRodrigue-yg5fx]

Also I really enjoy your videos

[@Singularity-v5q]

I catch them the old old school way get a plate and wait for them to jump in 😊

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes indeed

[@JimDog794]

Nice catch and cook. I caught some crawdads in streams and ponds. The water was shallow and pretty clear and I used a grass shrimp net to dip them.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Sounds great!

[@LeoRodrigue-yg5fx]

If you were to squeeze some of the blood out of your Bait.That attracts them very well.

[@EricGiebel-hs7uv]

Brother,feed your family,and i can only wish i was there to partake.

[@thedancingpistachio]

This is how we did it when I was a kid in the Spillway, and LaPlace, except i don'tremeber using pipe cleaners, hahaha. Memories ❤

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yep that would be the only part that’s not old school lol

[@DarthRoller69420]

probably a good idea to drop your nets one by one on the ground as your walking up then place them in the water on the walk back

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes sir thank you

[@davidmohr1063]

Good looking dinner.

[@KC-ke7kq]

That's the way I learned too, we used saltmeat

[@RobertHoward-xp3vl]

First time viewer and really enjoyed your video. I love crawfish and try to get my fill whenever I travel south from Bristol. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more from you. Keep up the good work.

[@mathewweeks9069]

Your awesome dude and awesome video be safe out there 😎👍🙏

[@YouretheMan-r6h]

Use that nutria you folks have down there for bait for crawdads and crab. It makes pretty good bait.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I have used nutria it works good

[@rebeccaplummer7847]

❤ Good way to spend some time😊

[@billytheriot2407]

Did that many times on the side of the Levi in St. Mary Parish Louisiana as a kid.

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

Now is the time people. Prices have come way down here in Central Mississippi. My local restaurant has a 3 lb special with sausage, corn, potatoes. $21.00. I bet you can get em really cheap in South Louisiana.👍

[@porkrind]

Never heard anyone outside of the midwest call them crawdads

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I’m all about diversity lol

[@pwrplnt1975]

You need to teach Vinny how to do this🤣🤣🤣

[@bryonbustillos7790]

I catch them with little kid fishing poles with pieces of bacon/hot dog and my little kids have a little net and I just lift them up and they scoop them at surface! That’s more fun. You can have several little poles lined up and just go down the line and repeat!!! Kids love it

[@bryonbustillos7790]

I also go in and catch them with my hands! That’s the funnest way

[@PantherCoupe]

I call them crawdad’s too! I’ve had people correct me and say crawfish! I’ve always called them crawdads and that’s what they are to me.

[@jeboutdoors377]

Hello Jared. Love watching your videos. Can you do a fishing videos using the crawdads as bait for fishing. And what is the most you ever got at in one trip out .

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Great idea. Just depends on how long you fish for. You can get a sack or two

[@robbiefishing]

This is a great video, I really enjoyed it. Do you know if those nets can be purchased online?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I believe they can with a company called Nets and More Google it

15 mins or so. You really just have to get out and try it takes a lot of trying

[@poorjohn100]

like you method

[@ph00z00]

I'm guessing those crayfish are primarily eating bug larvae naturally? I wonder what is their primary source of food (besides bait) ?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

They eat whatever
