CRAWFISH AND KILLER BBQ.

So I get a call from Crash that he's coming up to the R Ranch for the weekend. He wants to get some bugs for a BBQ. We head out at first light on Sunday to a spot on the Klamath above Copco Lake. I had done well here last time so why not? Crash had a fresh ocean salmon carcass and I had some two year old freezer salmon and hotdogs for bait. We load the traps and set them with our respective baits. After only an hour, I decide to check my trap to see if there's any action. I had only 1 in mine. Crash pulls his in and he's got like 24. WTH? Traps were only ten feet apart. His small trap was stuffed and crawling! Looked like a Deadliest Catch scene.  We unload them and he gives me half his carcass to see if that helps. Well after another two hrs I check again and wow, my trap has a buttload and his is loaded again. Just goes to show, even crawfish prefer ocean salmon over frozen river salmon. That stuff was like a magnet. Ended up with around 65 bugs for three hrs soaking. That place is loaded with crawfish. Always fun to be a kid again. Hats off to Crash and family and friends. The BBQ was off the hook with Crash's jumbalyia, albacore, and fresh salmon. Desert was grilled peaches ( gotta try this) and s'mores. That's not all as Crash whoops out a box of fine cigars to top it all off. Damn! Ate and felt like a King. Way to go Crash, you sure know how to put on a good time. Made Dawn and mines weekend. Till next time.

Great report Squatch, Doug and his family are top notch people, fun to be around.

Codzilla, you got that right. Sorry we didn't take more pictures but we were salivating too much. HaHa

Little trivia. Met a woman the other night that works at Tahoe Research Lab. There are 300 million, yes 300 million, crawfish in Lake Tahoe. Surprised me.

Last night was totally awesome. Great fun.

Oh hell ya! love me some mud bugs!!!!!
