    Default crawdad help


    How do you know if you have crawdads in the creeks by you? The creek by me has a is mixed soft bottom with rocks and moves real slow. Help is appreciated.

    If it isn't to deep,I would just go & turn over a couple rocks & see if you see any under them.

    I know the river/creek that runs through my property thats all I have to do,& they are everywhere.

    Take an old longneck beer bottle and rinse it out good. Put a couple rocks in it along with a piece of bacon and sink it in. Come back a couple hours later and if there is crawfish in it they will be in there. Or as stated, turn over a bunch a rocks.

    Crawfish will live just about anywhere, I find them in drainage ditches around here all the time. I bet you they are in the creek your asking about.

    You can buy a minnow trap at WalMart for a few bucks. It is a cylinder shape that comes apart in the middle. You can enlarge the two entry holes to about 2.5 to 3 inches and bait it with cut up fish or bacon and they will come to it. I looked at the ones on the internet and decided for $10 I just as well buy the Walmart one and enlarge the hole a little.
