Crawfish in Michigan
Hello everyone, I am new to fresh water fishing, and I am Derek, I have a buddy who is teaching me how to fish and hunt.
Here is one that we caught not too long ago.
And he has taught me how to crawfish for under $13 dollars at Lowell's.
Our traps we use.

That's it, I use my pizza box inserts that I get with tony's pizza.
And I use twist ties and wiring from Home depot.
Please enjoy!

They looked pretty good and should work ok. I make them for bait trapping around 3 feet long.
I like to use wreath rings on the ends to help keep the circle in them as well as 2 metal straps riveted where the long part is hooked together. My door is just one of the funnels going into it tied together with bread ties. The other funnel is hooked up with wire rings.

Good looking traps, but I just bought mine-2 types-thecone and a box-type from Frabill. Baited them with cheap chicken parts(necks/backs), same stuff we use for crabs in AL, and caught 30-40 per set. Lots of bull frog tadpoles too! (They are great Bass bait.) The kids used the crawfish for bass and catfish bait. Being from Louisiana, I view crawfish on a different scale than some readers. Last time I was home for mardi gras my brother-in-law, who works for a major oil field supplier hosted a 2000 # professional crawfish boil. The crawfish were served on lunch room trays from a scoop shovel and most were over 6" long!
