Since the Goverment found out there is money to be made from crawfish, in the name of conservation the fishing of them is highly regulated. The traps that Dino refers to are used here on a large scale. Typically made of chicken wire with a typical flat inverted cone for the trap end on one end and a flattened folded over end on the other end. Those are fished by the hundreds, run for a living and the crawfish sold at market, When I was in high school me and a friend had 150 of those type traps and we fished them in the summer for spending money. That is now regulated requiring licences, tags, sales reciepts etc.
The little square set nets I use are for catching a mess for the house. Not regulated cause they not as efficent as the wire traps. The nets are sold in packs of 12 for around 20$ your standard fishing licence covers 12 of them so Peg and I could have 24 in posession but that many starts being work:tinysmile_tongue_t:
The video was a not very sucessful trip. The 8-10 lbs we cught is our minumum, so it was really a non productive trip. When they really good we catch a sack full aproximently 40 lbs by mid afternoon. Bring them home boil them eat what we want and put the rest in the freezer.
Good luck Dino,
