Thrown a few pots this year, nothing too crazy so all were released. I’m about to drop again this weekend.

I think next week I'll start setting some overnight in spots I can reach from shore. Check em in the morning on the way to work.

I don’t think signal crawfish like cat food. Oily fish works best.

Can you catch them up in the weeds? Most of what I've read seemed to say to drop pots at the edge of the weed line. That's usually 20'-30' of water where I'm setting.

When I craw I throw my pots between the weeds and the bank. Or in the weeds. Further out I got the worse I do. 10-20’ off shore seems best. Rocks and weed combo is good .

Crawfishing is such a uncommon thing people see floats on a line and they think what’s that? So they pull it in. And a lot of people are trash so they take them. If I can’t tie them off all sneaky like I won’t fish that spot. And target spot I don’t think someone will fish. It’s about craw boil time

:yeah:
I use green paracord now and tie off or use a grapple to rake the line off the bottom, don't be like me folks and use floats for all to see unless you're directly tending them

it's come to my attention that I can't do this, so disregard bad advice, I've got the legal floats so I guess I'll just attend to them while fishing for walleye's or something else

You can attach a small note to your line with your information and put a rock over it.
