This should have been called "MUDBUGGIN 2013 The Movie" its so long. In an almost 3 day period I nailed the Mudbugs and it was amazing. Please enjoy the long awaited by myself chance to get out and trap some Crayfish.

I'm in Idaho. Here we call them crawdads - seems to be the common term, but I have heard crayfish used too. The river you were fishing looks just like our river here flowing through town, the water is high in the spring due to mountain snow run-off and evens out as summer drags on. I am going to try your traps here, it looks more productive than my method which is simply wading out into the river with a pair of salad tongs and a bucket and just snatching them up, which does work - but work is the key word - its a lot of it. But then, so is fixing up a batch too. The way I fix them is as follows. Boil your catch. Set them out to cool somewhat. Shell the tails - pull the vein and lay them out on a well buttered cookie sheet. Then brush the meat with garlic butter and lemon. (Lemon optional). Then light-to-moderately sprinkle them with powdered ranch dressing mix - just the powder - don't mix up a batch of dressing - just sprinkle the powder on them. You want enough butter on them so the powder gets wet with butter. Then you stick them in the oven and broil @ 350 until the tops turn just a little bit golden and pull them out. While they're hot sprinkle Parmesan cheese on them. Serve with a personal bowl of garlic butter & lemon. - Try it sometime. Its really good. Me, I am going to try your traps! Thanks for the great videos.

Greetings from Latvia! I love crayfish fishing. Here in Latvia we usually are trapping them by night so I'm quite surprised seeing you catching them by day, Depending on the place 200 crayfish are like maximum quantity in one catching time. It would be like a miracle for me to catch two hundred crayfish just in about an hour! Sadly our crayfish has poor size, not like yours.

Thanks TJ. I purge them with salt and clean water, I have a video on how to purge and boil them, or I should say how I do it, I have had many comments on differerent methods and I appreciate them so thank you for telling me how you do it. They are very delicious once cooked up. Thanks again. Joe

Craw fish are mainly nocturnal and if you get fortunate enough to catch them in the day, it is either overcast or you put your pot in a shaded area. This is why you didn't catch many when you came back 7 hours later to check your traps and it was done in the middle of the day. The times you caught the most is when you left the traps out overnight. Thanks for the video and info. God Bless

I love it now we get to taste what you guys get to enjoy , I just made my first trap I think I did pretty good too .

I know last yr that ppl were catching crawfish n crabs around the Bonnet Carre Spillway but I'm not sure how things will be now since they opened the spillway in January n just closed it about a week ago due to all the rain causing it flood up north but to protect new orleans they opened it up which they said added a lot of freshwater to Lake Pontchartrain. I saw on the news that the day after they closed it a guy was trawling for shad for the crawfish n crab trap.

I don't know what the law is where you are about setting traps like yours. But. If I was having a problem with people stealing from them I would Label the trap but it would be in a water proof container like a zip lock and taped to a stake and hidden along with the rope under the water so you are the only person that knows where it is. Good luck. Jim from Erie, Pa.

Nice videos. I live in Arkansas and love crawdad fishing and love to eat them more than catching them. We purge (soak in salt water) ours also but when we do we use an entire salt jug for 20-25 lbs. For those that want to know why we do this, it's to clean the insides out of the muddy taste and....well....poop from their tails. They ingest the salty water and it makes them sick and they are cleaned internally this way. I noticed that y'all didn't squeeze and suck the heads. That's where the boil water is and tastes so good. I can eat about 10 lbs by my self.
