Baiting?

[Trapper 0]

Hello

 

I'm looking for some advice on bait to use for a crayfish trap,I heard fish is the best for obvious reasons, but I cant get hold of any fish heads,as the local fish monger sells them all to the chinese,and the supermarkets cant give them out,so,I heard cat food is second best,will a can of sardines work? or a can of any type of fish?

 

Cheers.

I have used all sorts of things including tinned sardines and road kill rabbits and pheasants with success.

When I was a kid living in Ilkley, we used chicken to catch crayfish on the river Warf.
