How to catch crawfish
Try string and bait catching.
String and bait catching is a simple way of catching crawfish and makes for a fun family activity. All you need is a fishing pole, rod or stick, some fishing line or string, and some bait.
You can attach the bait to the string using a fish hook or even a safety pin-this will ensure that the bait remains attached to the string and prevents the crawfish from getting away. Artificial lures like grubs work well.
