Crawdad fishing locations
« on: May 14, 2012, 02:24:19 PM »
Has anyone done any crawdad fishing on the West side?  I thought it might be fun to throw in a trap or 2 while fishing.  I’m also thinking of ingredients for a Low Country Boil! :IBCOOL:

I could use a suggestion, if anyone has an idea of where to catch these critters.

Thanks,
Carl

You live right between two very large bodies of water that have some very nice 'dads.  :)

I'd just pick a piece of shoreline in Lake Wa and drop em down. Catch a perch or tow and bait with that.

I live near Lake Sammamish, so I guess I'll start there!

It might be this weekend before I get out.  I will pass on the results.

Try some of the deeper spots w/rocky banks along the slough just west of Woodinville.  Lots of mudbugs!

Thanks Et1702,

I will try that area. It looks like Lake Sammamish is basically land locked by private houses! 

I scouted the area accessible from Marymore park, but it was slimy with flat.

Catfood for sure.

As kids we used to dive for golf balls in the samammish slough by wayne golf course. We found a ton of golf balls and even more crawdads.
