Title: Uninvited Camp Visitor
Post by: urnmor on August 21, 2020, 09:20:16 AM

Had this little fellow enter our screen room yesterday when camping. Unfortunately it takes a lot more than one to make a meal.  This crawdad was over a Guarneri of mile from the pond.  I guess he was lonely for company.[

 That to me is a good sized crawdad. Was he taxied back to the pond?

Yes he was to join his friends and live another day

When we first moved to Tulsa in 1968, we had a powerful storm front with several tornadoes near by.  Next day we found several live crawdads on the lawn. I thought " Wow, we can harvest crawdads off our lawns after rain storms".  Wrong, never happened again. We did not eat them (did not know how to prep), but I did use for fish bait.  Bass love them.  That was a Big Daddy you caught.  I was using a 8 horse power Evinrude with a rented 14 foot aluminum flat bottom back then.  Good memories.

Yep, so do Walleyes.  In the hot part of the summer when I caught Walleyes with bright red gums and teeth I knew that they were chasing crawfish in rocky areas and banging into the rocks.  It was time to change technique and sometimes location.
