How to use a crayfish trap?

Crayfish traps are easy to use. Just put them in the water for several hours before harvesting the appetizing little lobsters. To attract crayfish, you have to put a bait. You can place a piece of mutton, aged pork, fish heads or even sardines in the center of the trap.

The traps can be hung on the edge of a pond or a river, in shallow water. The best time to fish for crayfish is between June and October, when the small aquatic animals are looking for nutrients to replenish nutrients and energy.

You should know that nuisance crayfish can be fished throughout the year provided you have a fishing license. This actually concerns Californian, American and Louisiana crayfish. They must not be returned to the water and cannot be transported alive. For native crayfish fishing, ask your region for more information.

Where can I find crayfish traps?

Any good fishing tackle vendor should offer you a crayfish trap! Here you will find high quality traps that will serve you for many years. Their resistance is highlighted by solid materials while their practicality will be of great use to you.

Crayfish traps of the trap type allow you to capture a large number of specimens. The entry bottlenecks prevent the animal from exiting while the fine meshes allow the bait to be viewed. A carrying handle is also provided on most models to facilitate movement.

What other crayfish traps are there?

Although the steel creel with bottlenecks is ideal for big game fishing, you can choose another crayfish trap for your annual fishing. Here you will find crayfish scales in different types of mesh to satisfy you.

The crayfish scale is an open trap model that is installed in the same way as a trap. You can also find folding traps or even crayfish traps, as well as various accessories (lifting cords, landing nets, telescopic handles, etc.).
