Ill put crab traps out Thursday when I get there and pull them periodically. If we don't have enough more can be bought. Crawfish are too hard this late

as far as the food, i aint too picky. i will chip in on a shrimp boil for sure. thats pretty simple too. i just don't wanna commit to cooking since i don't know what the fishing schedule is looking like.

Wasn't planning on it. Are you bringing yours? I saw you mention someone bringing a cat.

prolly jus gonna bring one boat. if the weather looks good just the cat. if the wind is gonna keep us in the bay, prolly just the champ. if it looks iffy we'll bring both. Just hate the added expense and headache of towing two boats that far.

I have actually had really good success with the melt while hand lining. Do you think leg quarters would be better or should I stick with the necks?

All I use in my crawfish traps is Poggie and I also bait crab traps with them but I would rather use a harder bait like mullet.

I have a Chest freezer for bait. I keep all my trout, bass, carfish heads and skins and bait with that. Just don't use reds or drum, they will not go in the trap. Had an old man tell me it is because reds and drum eat trout makes since.
