Here is a pix of my rusty dinner a couple years back

OMG! That looks amazing! I been watching a lot of those southern shows and been looking for a crawfish boil for a year now! Now that is what I call a good meal! You sir make me jealous!

I was out on my dock on Couchiching last weekend, and stopped counting when I hit 50. They're not deep either. The water off my dock is knee deep on me, and I'm only 6'1".

Hey bum, if you see where they are selling traps call my cell so I wonder if House Ape sells them.
Hope wifey don't mind😄

Where did you get monsters of that size? or are they small lobsters?

You can eat it just like lobster, some people eat stuff from the body, but its not for beginners lol.
To clean them i usually put crayfish in a very salted water for some time to get rid of crap from the guts.

I guess i'll give it a try, there are plenty around here. But i'm not sure if they're big enough for eating. Every time I set out a minnow trap I get plenty of crayfish as well, but just toss them back in.

Maybe the big ones arent able to fit into my trap. I'll widen the holes and see what I get
