The 2017 MUDBUGGIN season has started here in Minnesota and the numbers are looking good. A 2.5 day soak with 3 traps in the river. Lots of bugs in the bucket. Trapping Crayfish In The River.

Being from the south when I think of crawlfish, Minnesota is one of the last places to come to mind for mudbugging. I always thought it was just too cold there for them, I was very wrong!!! Brother I truly enjoy your videos!!! I recently had a battle with cancer and after each radiation treatment I was told to go home and relax. Watching your videos are fun to watch and very relaxing. I told many of your videos. 4 others doing radiation with me watch you now. Happy to say I am 8 months cancer free and I want to say Thank You Sir!!! You made it easier for a few of us.

I have been watching your channels religiously for the past 3 months. My husband is always saying " Oh, you're watching your guy again." I first watched a video you posted about 5 years ago on canning potatoes. Joe, you have really motivated me to start getting things done! In the last few weeks you have inspired me to re-paint the interior of my home, build new fun projects, go hiking, fix up my own camper, purchase some crawdad's from Louisiana (I live in SW FL), and much more. Stay busy my friend. It really is helpful!

Thank you Amanda, what a great comment. I always say you cannot get anything done sitting on the couch. Lol. Usually when I sit on a couch I fall asleep. You really cannot beat the pre boiled crawfish from Louisiana as long as they are not too spicy hot. Thank you again for the nice comment. Energy makes energy, keep it moving. Joe

Great video. We rebait the traps with fresh bait every day here down south. "Crawfish", like crabs prefer fresh bait. Its a common misconception that they prefer rotten or old bait. Try some fresh bait every day and watch your catch increase. The oilier the baitfish the better.

Bad Medicine lake by Itasca state park. It's where the old Hamm's beer commercial's withe the bear water skiing were shotin the late 60's early 70's. Huge massive amounts of crayfish off the dock's all day and night long We had water boiling and ate them in crazy amounts. Our 3 traps fed 4 of us and a few camping neighbor's. Yummy. Oh, lot's of diver's you can see down 20ft. plus easy. Great trout deep in the day and awesome walleye at night if super silent using a light to shine their eye's then quietly move over or by them. We found 4lb. was max line or fish seen it. Been going there for year's is beautiful. The mcmansion people have wrecked part's of the lake. Great catch by the way,

@JoeandZachSurvival7 жыл бұрын
Thank you Erika. Zach bugged and bugged me to start a youtube channel. I really wanted nothing to do with it at first but he was young and I am Dad and somehow we started it. Once the whole many years long demise of my 26 year marriage started I found that when I was making the videos I could actually "lose" myself in it and for that short period of time I could forget how everything else around me was crashing. I guess I put my energy into the videos and now years later here I am. Zach is the youngest so the divorce hit him very hard also so it was a good way for us to spend not pressure time together. Its funny that I met Melissa because she commented on one of my Mudbuggin videos. She commented that they are not Crayfish, they are Crawfish........ Wow how life changes,....... look at us now.

I have learned boil from Cajuns over much time spent in Louisiana...enough teaching to duplicate a decent crawfish boil here in Ohio. I think You should put your seasoning in the pot at the end with the crawfish, boil the bugs less than 5 minutes, and have a longer soak/cool down for the bugs to draw in the seasoning...have seen ice thrown in at the end to get them to draw in more spice. My method: 4Tbsp. salt for each 3 quarts of water when using the bag seasoning, boil redskins for 25-30 minutes. add corn and lemons 20 minutes in. I like heat so use Louisiana brand, Zatarains, or McCormick, and Zatarains Liquid oil. if using powdered blends no salt needed. Spice and crawfish in at the same time. if the spice gets put in at the beginning, the flavor gets boiled off. Boil crawfish 2 minutes and shut off the heat, then soak 30 minutes. I always have plenty of flavor in my bugs with the long soak. If You're not pinching and sucking guts, You are wasting the best part of the bugs :-)

Nice video. Catching mudbugs off and on my whole life I may have something of interest for you. If your going to accumulate a good amount of bugs, might I suggest a 30 or 55 gal plastic barrel with a cheap aerator pump. Fill it with water and put at least a cup to two cups of dissolved salt in and let it run a day or so to purge them. I assure you they will taste better as they will dump any mud and silt from their system. Just food for thought.
@albertledesma51737 жыл бұрын
Sunny W The aerator is a good idea. Joe does use salt to purge them. If you watch his other crawfish boil videos, he always uses salt to purge them out.

Hey Joe, I see you spraying what I assume is some type of DEET repellant on your jeans/socks/shoes. Have you ever used Permethrin on your clothes? Rather than just being a repellant, it kills insects and arachnids (ticks) on contact. The rule I follow is DEET on skin, Permethrin on clothes. Dampen clothes with permethrin solution on clothesline, let dry before wearing. It's good for about 5-6 wash cycles. Since I started doing that, I rarely find ticks on me. Very effective.
