In the crick I fish in, some areas are so loaded with crayfish you nearly step on them every step, then some areas there aren't any at all. These areas are far away, like one mile stretch may be loaded with them, the next half a mile, nothing! What causes this? I thought maybe the water temp, but it's the same in both areas. Thanks in advance!

you mean crawfish??

Yes, it is CRAWFISH.

And yes, they have specific habitats that they enjoy and you have found one.

I have seen them in creeks and ponds and then all of a sudden about 10 feet away, nothing.

They like rocks and grass and places to hide so check the creek's bottom to see the difference in structure.

They taste good, too.

First, get a big pot from your mother's kitchen and fill it half full of water.  Then place it on the stove and get it to boil.

Add some corn on the cobb, onions and small red potatoes when the water is boiling, plus some liquid or powder crab boil seasonings.

Then add the live crawfish and boil for about three minutes.

Lift pot, drain water and enjoy!

Remember, crawfish are the happiest animals around.  They get their tails pinched and their heads sucked.

Enjoy.

Thanks, that sounds good! Were havin a fish fry Friday, don't worry, not bass, all panfish, were plannin on gettin some crawfish and some freshwater clams also. Thanks for the cookin instructions!!!!!
