I have some crawfish traps... I know it's not the season, but can you still catch maybe just a few crawfish in traps in the winter time? Or is it not even worth trying cause you won't get anything? I'll be down at a lake in San Diego.
Catching Crawfish
I have some crawfish traps... I know it's not the season, but can you still catch maybe just a few crawfish in traps in the winter time? Or is it not even worth trying cause you won't get anything? I'll be down at a lake in San Diego.
I've done it at night during winter.
Wont hurt to set em up and let them soak.
Goodluck!
Alright if you've done it I'll go for it. I just didn't want to be wasting bait and effort if there was no chance of getting anything.
As long as the water temp is warm enough to keep them active, you should be able to get some year round. It's been warm lately so I would think that they are active now.
my buddy just pulled a dozen from a lake in the mountains surrounded by snow with a water temp of 49 degrees. It might be a little better in san diegoOriginally Posted by gavin310
Ah Mud Bugs .. Love those things. Whats the best bait ? We used to use bologna or hot dogs. They are better eating in the cooler water if you can find em.
That's really good to hear. I'll let you know how many I pull out
i've used trout guts and that worked. i've used salmon and that worked too. but i've heard catfood, hot dogs, and all kinds of other things work too. i honestly think as long as it gives off good scent they'll show up. these things have been on this earth for a looooong time and i don't think they survived this long by being picky eaters... ;)
Lots of baits, but I've used mackeral for lots of bugs.
Japo
get some cheap (more stinky) catfood and punch some holes all over the can; top and bottom
that always worked for me
