How to catch crawfish.
What doesn't work:
*Reaching into the water and trying to simply grab them
*Using gummy bears as bait
*Trying to whack them with a kayak paddle
*Pretending the kayak paddle is a rock, then lifting the unsuspecting crawfish out of the water once they're atop the paddle
*Aggressively attempting to trap them between a rock and a hard place, using the paddle to move them along
What does work:
*An actual trap with a chicken carcass as bait, left overnight.
Conclusions:
Unfortunately, since we still had only eight the next morning (I blame the fact that we put the trap where the current was especially strong), that wasn't enough for a meal so we had to let them go. Next time, bring a net.
