Crawfish Trap Pt4
Simply stretch the
rubber bands and hook shut!
My trap was done!
Woot Woot!!!
To keep track of my
traps and for ease of retrieval from the water, I made some really FANCY
‘bobbers’ out of some rope, a plastic bottle, and a piece of
wire….Teeheehee
Simply attach wire to
the bottle
Make a loop with the
other end of the wire, and tie the rope to it
Tie the other end of the
rope to the trap handle
The best part about
this is I can slip a note inside the bottle with my name, phone
number, and date & time that I set my traps. This informs any
passers-by that I haven’t abandoned them and that I’ll be back later to retrieve
my traps.
I was ready to go catch
some crawfish!!! (yes I made two because one is never enough!)
I’d heard that hot dogs
were good for bait so I decided to give em’ a try!
After tossing the traps
into the water, my little plastic bottle ‘bobbers’ danced up and down
like tiny water buoys, marking where the traps were…they did their job
well!
My Sweetie and I
then went for a long stroll to explore the breathtakingly beautiful scenery…
…as our
pups rambunctiously romped through the water…Happy Dogs!!!!
After about an hour, we
returned back to our spot to see if the new traps had any treasure in
them. I was excited to pull them up to see what was inside!!!
Score!!! I
caught three crawfish to be exact…One in one trap, and two in the
other!!!
This little guy was
happily munching away on his hot dog!
Next time I’ll try
leaving the traps in for a longer period of time to see if we catch
more!

project? I’d love to hear about so make sure to leave a comment or pic in
