crayfish (non Yak)

Haven't had much luck with the weather so I decided to pick some crawdads this morning.  make up for the lack of fish
Hoping  to being able to post some fish shots soon.  This will have to do for now.

Nice Haul

A truck load of 'dads? I'll be right there with the lemon and butter!

Oh, yummy!  Those are gonna be good!  Share some pictures of the feast too!

Holy crap!!!  Where did you catch all of those? 

Rice paddies

Ok, this is something i know nothing about, coming from South Africa. How, where, when?....they look like cabbie candy! Thats quite a haul.!

where these rice paties near colusa some where. Any help would be great.

                                                                Thanks Jim Ricker

I wanna know what the bait was!!!!!

Wow, thats a serious haul. Who knew rice paddies were good for something!? (errr, apart from rice).

A truckbed full of 'dads! Ha! That is a beautiful picture man.

Wow! I've caught buckets and tub loads of 'dads, but never a truckload! That's a lot of cooking, peeling and good eating. Looks like fun.

Many..many years ago when I was young, my dad and I would get crawdads in the Sutter county rice field ditches.

Been doing this for 30 yrs. since 14 years old.  2 weeks before and after labor day.  or as soon as they start draining the water from the paddies.  It was actually a small catch.  On a good day, 2 garbage full is the norm.  No bait used.  just pick them up from top of the mud.  FOR SOME NCKA STICKERS I COULD GIVE THE SECRET LOCATION(S) ...SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS.
