That's where I go too. A pair of waders and a flashlight is how I get em.
you want to boil them in old what? slap ya mama makes for a decent dip, not for boiling though.
I only got to eat about 12# this year.
the boil is the party. one of the things I really miss about Louisiana.
When I was just outside New Orleans, we poured slap ya mama all over the crawfish before we ate them. I tried to do a whole 5 pounds by myself and nearly got sick from eating too much...
That's my only experience eating crawfish

yes, always soak in very salty water, then rinse before boiling to get a good purge.
dont eat the dead ones
Be sure to purge them...
Being from Louisiana, I am laughing my ass off at the quanity...You should set up some traps......
Thanks,

This is about a quarter of what we caught. We catch of what we'll finish eating. We don't waste food.
I want extra to shell and vaccuum seal/freeze to use this winter in ettouffee & gumbo.

Your post got me all nostalgic (haven’t been crawfishing in about 20 years).
Got the wife and kids, went to Wal-Mart and Sports Authority (they actually have crawfish traps) and headed over to Chatfield. Ended up at the gravel lake across from Kingfisher and caught about 30 nice sized ones in a couple hours. Mainly hand fishing with liver on a line and a net. Everyone had a great time and we’ll have a nice lunch tomorrow.
Thanks for reminding me how much fun it can be.
Holy crap - I had no idea you could get crawfish like this in CO! So cool! And so yummy!
All you need to catch crawfish is a small net and your hand.
Locate crayfish.
Put net BEHIND crayfish.
Poke hand at crayfish from FRONT.
Crayfish shoots backwards into net.
Rocky places are best since there is at least one under every decent sized rock.
