who's addicted to crawdadin?

[lucky33]

Salmon heads are great....the only cost $1-$1.50, and most seafood places have them. There is enough on them to keep the 'dadies in the pot until its pulled. I catch them in good numbers over here on the eastside. I set traps right after dark, then get them at first light. This helps prevent theft which has been an issue for me in the places I trap. I would only ever use fish in a trap, chicken, rancid stuff, and old frozen fish just dont work as well as fresh fish.

When i was little i use to cut the tup of a pop bottle off and put it back inside staple it  and pole a hole in the top of the bottle tied a string and some microwaved bacon and tossed it in a stream by bigger bolders and I would get 3 to 5 in each 24 oz pop bottles. Not sure if its legal but I was 12.

Holy Sheep Chit.  ... that is a heck of a pull there... was that out of a trap? dam that one looks as big as a lobster...  I am going to be targeting those big boys, i know where there holding its just a matter of getting the traps in those waters...  Man i just keep going back to that picture, that is a big boy.... ..   I tell ya pulling a full pot of Daddies with some big boys in it is like the equivalent to shooting a big buck!...

Good memories of catchinig them by the bucket full all over in the creeks of Mill Creek, WA.  An attorney friend of the family would occasionally buy them from me along with all the golf balls I would pick up.

I am having a hard time finding any with size. Does anyone know any decent spots around the Kitsap/ Mason county area?

You wouldnt believe where you well find them, i dont know your area very well, but just find any creeks are pretty rocky, meaning decent size rocks with slow pools of water and throw out a trap and see what turns up... we had test pots all over where i live in the last few weeks, were just now starting to find the mother loads..... lol...  its addicting, checking your pots, its like XMAS morning...

We used to get a lot of them out of the Deschutes. Now I might just drive around til I find your pots

We pulled 4-5 Gallons in about three hours this weekend on the *Censored* river.  There were some hogs in the bunch.

I'm heading to the Tucannon River this weekend with my boys and was hoping to catch a few with my boys.  Do you just pick up rocks and grab them before they get away?  Do their pinchers hurt?  I have memories of doing it when I was really young, but too young to remember much.  Thanks.
