Crawfish boil prepration "purging"

[mudman03]

Ok folks figured I would share an experience I had with "purging" crawfish. I got the idea from a restaurant and have proven it works. So here you go... After purchasing your crawfish place them in a large tank. I used a kiddy pool from walmart the hard plastic kind. Naturally the more crawfish the bigger/more pool/tanks you need. Anyway, dump 2-3 sx in pool depending on size of pool and drill a few 1/2 inch holes around the top of pool w paddle bit or whatever. Fill pool up with water and run your water at a gallon every 6 mins if using tap water so not so expensive. Take your hose and time that bc it is fairly cruicial. Allow this to run 24 hours prior to boiling and its a guarantee that there will be no crap in vein and the fat will be bright yellow. Also I have a 3 acre pond at home so I stick a old bildge pump in my pond and pump into tank/pool and let it drain back to pond at a good rate. After 6 hours in pool the crawfish begin crapping and by 24 hours they will be done and flushed clean. Saltwater purging does not work. Yea it sounds like a lot of trouble but its really not. You purge your entire boil at one time.
