When can I catch crayfish?

June, July and August are the best seasons to catch crayfish in caves every year. In late August, with the decrease of water temperature, crayfish began to dig holes at the bottom or water's edge to wait for the next summer. At this time, the shrimp catching on the lake has gradually reached a low point, while the number of people catching shrimp in the river ditch has increased. The tools for catching shrimp in the river ditch are very simple. Shrimp farmers usually only need a shovel to dig shrimp and a glove to catch shrimp. Shrimp farmers say that the water in the cave is very clean, just like the growing environment of eels and loaches. The hole dug by crayfish is generally between 1.5 and 2 meters. After autumn, the weather is getting colder, and it is more difficult to dig crayfish in the river ditch, which is only six or seven kilograms a day. Due to the cold weather, the time suitable for shrimp catching in the river ditch is very short. And there is not much economic benefit. Therefore, most of the crayfish currently on the market are crayfish caught in the lake area.

Preparations for catching crayfish

Basic materials: raw pork, 1m white cotton thread (more than 2m is not easy to wrap around the fishing rod), 30-50cm bamboo sticks/sticks (more is better), and net bags (1m is enough).

Other equipment: small stool (you need to squat down and stand up frequently to catch lobster), long-sleeved trousers+toilet water (there are the most mosquitoes by the water), rain gear/sunscreen (you know in summer).

(Actually, frozen pork is used; I didn't find a short bamboo pole/stick, so I had to tear off bamboo branches with a diameter of only 0.5cm directly from the bamboo, and later I found several sticks)

A fishing rod made of wooden sticks;

Location: The water depth is 0.5m, which is too shallow without lobster and too deep for bait to sink to the bottom; If you are in the lotus pond, choose a gap with lotus leaves on three sides, and fishing directly in a place with dense lotus leaves is easy to entangle cotton thread.

Fishing method of crayfish

No matter in rivers, lakes, seas or ditches, lobsters are easy to catch as long as they are dense. It is best to stay on the shore, the water should not be too deep, and it is best not to exceed 1 m, with or without aquatic plants. Lobster fishing is similar to fishing, but lobsters seem to be much more stupid than fish, so the requirements are lower. Bait no matter what meat, you can't buy viscera, so lean meat and fat lobster are generally not eaten. You don't have to stink the meat. It is as good as fresh. Cut it into a square with a diameter of 3 cm and a length of 4-5 cm (about this size will do) and tie it firmly to the fishing line. Be careful not to hang on the hook like fishing. You don't need a hook to catch this stupid crayfish. This underwater nerd will use his powerful pliers to catch the delicious food he has!

And try to tie it tightly, because the lobster's two pliers and its tail are a powerful combination underwater. Otherwise, it will break free in the process of pulling up and let it run away with delicious food! It is especially important to note that the bait must sink to the bottom! Lobsters don't hang in the water like fish without climbing objects, so they must be "within reach".

The requirements for fishing rods and fishing lines are also very wide. You can use fishing tackle, but you don't have to throw bait as far as fishing. It is most suitable to be about one meter away from yourself. If it is convenient, the fishing rod can break a twig more than one meter, or find a stick or something. Whether the fishing line is nylon or cotton, if you see the fishing line moving, you must prepare the pull rod. Attention! Don't upset yourself like fishing, take it step by step, and sometimes you have to play hard to get, you will know. If you always break free, it is recommended to equip yourself with a small net bag and catch it when you pull out the water, so that you can't run away.
