bill88 6 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Was clearing the shed last week and found some old plastic mesh.Decided to have a go a knocking up a crayfish trap (last two i've paid for have been stolen after being set) bit of mesh,some garden twine,and half a dozen cable ties and VOILA!! job done.Set it in a local hotspot for 2 hours just before dark,and ended up with 23 decent sized crays.

Guest bullterrier Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 well done bill a good feed there mate enjoy .. ...john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bill88 6 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Cheers lads,Kreet im Scottish but now live in the Midlands,not sure where youd find Red Signals back home.The trap was baited with kippers that were left in the sun for a day.What i would say is try and wrap some mesh around the bait as they will strip it in minutes if just left lying inside the trap.John they will be going on my barbe sometime next weekend mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
