    New Orleans Fish Market get live crawfish on Fridays
    2212 West Vernon Ave.
    Los Angeles, CA 90008
    323-296-3817

    I have called this place a few times. There is a place in Ontario but they serve them already cooked. Boiled Crabs and Crawfish on Euclid.

    go to bass pro shops and buy a trap for 10 bucks, or search the internet for plans to make a trap of your own. it is fun and the crawfish are good eating! its almost time for me to head to my secret spot for some freshwater bugs. tip for so cal: find clean water. there are crawdads everywhere.

    is it legal to hook a crawdad and fly line it and use it as live bait?

    oh ok well one baby split shot should do the trick. ha

    um...where do you suggest i hook them. if you have any experience with that. i have heard two sides

    1st they say dont hook the tail because of the black spinal cord thing going through it but then i have also heard to not hook it through the body as well. plus the top of the body is so hard and full of armor that it is hard to poke the hook through.

    any tips...

    you could try some magic thread as well,
    I probably dont get out much, but I would not know where to set a trap to catch them
