Legal way to Catch Crayfish in a Trout Park

Montauk Trout park Missouri. Huge Crayfish: everyone ignores them. but ya got to know the rules

Kids grow so fast. He's bigger than I am.....and more handsome, Can't catch a break...but a crawfish....flipping rocks never fail....but I don't think you can disturb the park like that....I've been yelled at for picking up a feather.

For sure... he is getting huge... great kid too! Flipping rocks is the fun way to do it but yeah they have all kinds of rules and specifically it says you can't harvest fish by hand, and since the crayfish fall under the same rule set then I have to obey LOL. and the Crayfish in there are just friggin huge!

This is how we catch Blue Crabs in Louisiana.

Lake Pontchartrain? Spent a week there a couple years ago. loved catching blue crab down there

@@reliablyrandomoutdoors we go all over but yes sometime to Lake P. Rockefeller’s is another good spot. West side of Louisiana. We mostly catch big speckled Trout in lake P.

@@JohnDoe-ih3xi OOOgh, I really wanted to catch a Speck when i was down but had no luck. Hope to get back down in that area sometime in the next year or two

Those are beautiful crayfish....Is that a net?

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

yeah I should have distinguished that a landing net is ok to land the catch, just not to directly catch fish/crayfish with

[@kiaravinyard8917]

Can you use crayfish traps?

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

No, Not in the park
