who's addicted to crawdadin?

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

You guys know any good spots up here in skagit county? Never done it myself and kinda want to get into it. Maybe some good advice for a beginner to?

Howdy, if you haven't already start at the beginning of this thread and read carefully. There is some real good Intel if not some of the best you'll find on the net. Good luck and keep us Crayfishers in the loop!!!!!

It is about time to start soaking our pots gentleman.. round 2.. we will have to come up with another  prize for the big daddy again.. same rules and till Sept 1st?.. we've been building new pots the lat couple months we lost dam near all our gear last season. Well that's crawdaddin. We will start a new thread for 2014 crawdad mania..

So any suggestions for places to try down in the Vancouver area?

I'm thinking maybe Lacamas Lake. Main issue with Columbia River and Vancouver Lake area is simply pollution. Not sure how comfortable I'd be eating stuff out of either...

What do you use for a bouy for the trap? That the next on the list to get . How do you keep people from messing with your trap?

I'm ready for round 2!! Got a few more pots and a pontoon boat to venture further down river. We should do something for the most bugs by weight too.

Just about any stream, river or lake/pond with a stream in and out will have some population of craws

Was talking to a fish biologist last night, he indicated he wouldn't think of eating anything out of the Columbia (down here), Vancouver Lake and tribs, or Lacamas Lake. Fortunately, he did give me a few ideas.

Im ready for season 2!

[rasbo]

Im in for it,just a few more degrees on the water here and pots are out

[Colin]

Gonna make a few of these up this weekend with 1/2" hardware cloth. Hope I can get something here in King County. Might give the traps a try out east if I tag along with another HuntWA member on a last chance at a spring Tom. Any recommendations on a good size opening for the funnels? Was thinking like 2" diameter maybe 3"?

Hello everyone.  I am back to win round 2.  I already had a great catch with some big ones.  Just so you don't think they are pets I cooked them before I measured them.

[mzangara]

Here is one more.
