MUDBUGGIN II, Crayfishing with different baits.

[@funkyprepper]

WOW man - fantastic!! bread looked good for bait if i was you: the next time you make bread add some dessicated liver to the mix or grate near frozen liver and dehydrate then add to the bread mix. brilliant stuff you two :) well done all the best

[@karenchakey]

That was a nice day mudbuggin day wasn't it, that bread worked great, wow I can't wait to see what you do with them all! I remember using bread balls for bate when I went fishing with my dad with a cane pole...lol.lol..and I caught the most!!!! Great vid Joe!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thanks Eagle. I have actually tried that and it is somewhere in the crayfishing playlist. That worked real well. This year I am using venison liver from last years deer hunt and that stuff holds together wayyyyyy better than chicken livers and I have had no issue with needing to box the bait. Thanks again. Joe

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I watched a few videos on some of the real giant crayfish you have over there and its amazing. You are quite restricted on how many you can keep but they are truly huge. The rustys here get pretty big as far as the US is concerned. Thank you. Joe

[@themudbugjuggler9912]

Amen Brother! I for one appreciate what you are trying to do and i enjoy your videos. Thank you!

[@carnagie85]

That was great guys. Quite surprised the bread attracted so many. Thanks for sharing.

[@ptkenterprise70]

i never paid attention to the flavor of cat food stinky is best..except that it was "cake" not little cubes or shreded..but depending on the size of the holes in the can it could be used for days.the critters are coming for the smell even if they can't eat your bait..you fellas have great videos and i appreciate your efforts!!

[@itsjussjerry]

I've had alot of luck using raw chicken tighs catching about 200-250 in 3-4 hrs. Made the switch over to smoked bacon and the numbers nearly doubled. Only downfall was that the bacons favor didn't last as long as the chicken but man, once the bacon got dropped in the water, the crawdads were completely ignoring the chicken! Hopefully I can put some videos up of us catching crawdads here in California soon! Btw, great video and keep it up!

[@ShoeManReview]

Awesome video! I am looking forward to seeing you guys cook them.

[@MrOflores82]

love the video makes me want to try it . and the dad son moments are the best .keep posting stuff like this .

[@iamsnake21]

outstanding video, that is great joe, and you are having fun too, cant get no better then that,

[@stewbate70]

Hey guys!! Stewbate here again. Really enjoying your videos. I'm going to make a video response on how I bait my traps and get maximum results. Bread really suprised me I admit. But I know cat food does not work. or sardines, or dog food. Maybe in your lake..lol Ill be in touch soon. Happy trapping, Stewy

[@LeonRFpoa]

Recall that tip I told you about using your leftovers from the boil as bait? We used to perforate a tin can with a few holes and put a pringles lid over the open end.

[@triplestarhomesteadllc]

Very nice haul.. Seems like the bread did a really good job. :)

[@karenchakey]

Have a Happy 4th Joe "we are still free"....going to have my kids over and mom and my brother and family and cook out "old fashion" on the weber...just burgers and brats! bake beans, mac and cheese "cauze the youngins like it", cheesy patatoes, Cauliflower salad "it's the bomb" because it has bacon in it! maybe make some "home maid ice cream" ...Take Care!

[@HalfQ]

Thats some good going. The bread is a suprise to me. very cool

[@USMC65UH34D]

Nice work Joe and Zach. Are you keeping score as to which bait seems best? Thanks, Jim

[@GarnettM]

Joe i`ve gone bait fishing for sturgeon using Hotrods beef jerky it`s oily and has lots of flavor try that in your cage bait bin .

[@bwdishon]

Awesome .. I will try some of your baits.. a friend of mine said that they use sweat potato but the rock melon wrks best.. ima try those too

[@dofishbuster]

Location over bait. Of course I also hedge my bets and use 2-3 types of bait per trap. Usually cat or dog food (dry) some bread and a meat (usually fish). Thing is with the same baits and a location 20 yards away one trap will be full the other only a few. Then sometimes it is the reverse. As well ALWAYS add fresh bait as it gets washed out over time. BTW the sock will work better than panty hose as it is tougher and they cut panty hose.

[@briargoatkilla]

Awesome haul, guys.

[@StatenIslandSlim]

Nice.... there was some nice size ones too Thx for sharing :D

[@cyndiburkhart3619]

Thanks for the sock suggestion. I have a couple pair that are pretty worn that can be sacrificed. Bread? Really? In central KS here, will have to give that a try!

[@vh04863]

hi I just watched your crayfish videos, I'm a Lobsterman from Maine and its really strange how much they look alike. what is the most you have had in one trap? Thanks for making these videos could watch them all day

[@SurviveN2]

I'm so way behind on my video watching Joe....again :-} I've got 380 to watch...LOL. Thanks for sharing, I'm learning a lot from this series. Take Care my friend :-))

[@extremehuntingnfishing5638]

great video... do you think that bluegill would work in the trap

[@USMC65UH34D]

I hope you can get away soon but we have been enjoying the MudBug count too. I saw those numbers and they are amazing.

[@mammysinthekitchen]

Don't use up all your good socks.....lol Nice catch.

[@MrDavin68]

Itsa great Vid you put up hopefully others catch some from your tips, give the half boiled potato a run though might not work well but red claws are vegetarian but seem to go for a lot of types of baits even cat and dog biscuits tend to work cheers and thanks

[@GarnettM]

Yes slim Jim`s same thing it`s oily and gets tough in cold water stay better works good for Sturgeon .

[@BobbiMeyer]

how are they packaged in the freezer? the parts that are at risk are the fins and mouth area. Many taxidermists nowadays won't do skin mounts, but rather will use reproductions, in that case, if you have pictures that is what they would be interested in. One thing about a reproduction, they won't shrink or crack

[@LindasPantry]

I love spicy Crayfish!!!!

[@outsideal]

I also had an idea for nylons. Got to a shoe store and they have them for free they are called peds, the gals use them to slip on when they try on shoes and don't have socks on. They have boxes of them at the shoe section at places like Walmart. I just grab a few each time I go. I use them for coffee strainers and to slip over mugs and bowls to keep bugs out.

[@outsideal]

Hey Joe! Never done anything like this in my life but was thinking maybe if you made a type of smaller square cage out of wire that you could open and close, then put your bait in it and suspend it about 1/4 up from the bottom with some type of heavy gauge wire to suspend it top to bottom with, you might be able to keep your bait longer with out them getting any. Like this ---> (---0-)

[@JUGGINGFORCATFISHcom]

I like your bait box!

[@cornishman1987]

do you cook the cray fish before freezing or after? thanks

[@TEABERRYEAGLE]

Since your bait box screen seems to be too large, how about trying "flyscreen", like in your screen door...should be plenty small to keep them from picking and removing the bait...and, try chicken wings for your bait along with maybe the necks......and, fish heads should be legal...love your videos....I'm from WV and we used to catch a few to use as "bass bait", but didn't run into wholesale eating of them 'til I visited LA...keep up the good work

[@areynoldson]

you know i really wish i could go out and do this with you guys.. even though im a girl it looks like a lot of fun!!

[@ptkenterprise70]

i take cat food cans and put slits in the top with a knife and waller the holes a little bit..u can use that for a while...

[@MrDavin68]

Try half boiled potato or rockmelon (cantelope) as bait works over here in Australia for red Claw crays

[@MNoutdoors100]

I live right on the Rum River just outside of Isanti near Cambridge I get a few in the summer but the main target is cats and carp

[@fishinindiana2359]

Try using chicken breast it's the only bait I use except old fish I cleaned it's works amazing here in Indiana. Also it last a really long time

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

How about putting it in used small medicine bottles with a few pin holes in the top?

[@vinng23]

I'm in MN, what it the law for catching Crayfishes like that? I like crayfish and maybe I can do that this coming summer.

[@BobbiMeyer]

southern boil with potatos, corn and crawdads...in crab boil mix!!!

[@SpiritofWildWings]

How about a bait cage slid inside a larger bait cage?

[@adamtodd8874]

I made traps but law here says I need tags on them to leave overnight. Do I put it on the cage or my rope?

[@beth-rg8bm]

Try putting rye seed in your sock and let it soak in water overnight then put it in sunlight and let it sprout until it comes through the sock then use it in place of bait!

[@81XLT]

Is it weird that I can spend all day watching you guys catch crawdads? LOL

[@dylanbialik6499]

the traps I have they have little bags in the top made out of just the fabric just like the trap but like I said its on the top I'm wondering if that is a problem of not should I put it in a sock and let it free float or what. for bait I've been using salmon

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I have many many videos on Crayfishing and crawfishing and I have tried all that and more. I find the best thing to do is put it in a piece of nylon pantyhose type material and let it free flat. Thank you. Joe

[@MNoutdoors100]

Are you in MN? where about

[@brandonparker7201]

Just have a good southern style crawfish boil thats the best way to cook crawfish. preferably when they are just caught. there are alot of video here on youtube on how to do so.

[@bretthumberstone427]

How do you make your videos?

[@areynoldson]

absolutely! i couldn't agree with you more ;)!!

[@LeonVitija]

could you please try lamb liver? I would like to see how it works, thanks :)

[@XxStormPowerxX]

Try out Sweet potato see if you catch some bigger kinds of Crayfishes. :D

[@mikesharkey2405]

have you ever tried poop ? kinda would like to see what the results would be

[@brodyjoe50]

Human? lmfao

[@goodturbosaregood177]

Soap is good catfish bait, I don't know why but it works great

[@iwantosavemoney]

what type of soap or does it matter?

[@brodyjoe50]

its got to be because its made from animal fat I would guess.

[@iwantosavemoney]

what type of soap do you use?

[@brodyjoe50]

iwantosavemoney My apologies, I have never done this before. I was just stipulating why using soap works. Its got to be that they like it because of the animal fat. If you want soap with animal fat you can almost always find it at farmers markets. It is usually expensive at about five dollars a bar or more. For catfishing I usually just use worms for channel, they are free when I flood my yard.

[@goodturbosaregood177]

thanks for leting me know!

[@ItsMeScareCro]

I just watched a video before this one where a fella was using sweet potato for bait and catching some BIG old suckers.

[@drainbamage697]

i try to go crawfishing this year a creek in winter and there were none can someone exoplain that to me plz

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Mason C Wait for the water to warm up if your winters are cold. Where do you live? not your address but your state or whatever?

[@drainbamage697]

in crossville tn but its summer time now yay

[@U812GREEN]

Try chicken wing tips or necks.

[@cebastianconkin4636]

socks serially put bait in stuff that is see threw

[@MrHeatscore94]

No shame in a man buying panty hose.. as long as its for a trap, filter, etc.. pretty much any other purpose then wearing them..

[@kennethhigdon1159]

jj coolj old soldiers would use it along with thermal underwear as additional insulation. The fabric gets locked in with your leg hair and creates an excellent insulation

[@ethanthomas7460]

try to catch 100 crayfish in 1 trap

[@trevorhassel6193]

Try using hot dogs

[@brianmooney1127]

Big??? they are fuking TINY compared to our crayfish. they are far from legal in australia

[@iamsnake21]

outstanding video, that is great joe, and you are having fun too, cant get no better then that,
