Commercial Trappers: Congrats to a great crawfish harvest FOR 2011!
Now we are into 2012 and reports so far are fantastic! A warm winter sure helped for this year.

Everyone: There is a crawfish shortage, turn those extra crawfish into CASH locally! (update, there is more of a shortage then before!) With the late starting season and destructive flooding this year the cost of crawfish will be an all time high. Turn your catch into money!! Local markets are everywhere in your city.

*All my traps are 100% made by my family and I in the USA! This has been asked a number of times.
*I am the only Commercial Crawfish Trapper online who sells real commercial crawfish traps! No imported net coiled traps or plastic traps are sold here! Those are sold by hobby trappers.
*All 4 trap styles are commercial built, used by commercial crawfish trappers and serious crawfish Sportsman!
They are commercial strong and built for commercial catches.
*I refuse to take shortcuts in building crawfish traps because of time and $$ spent!!

Trapping Hint: Always test the waters close to your home first. The glory hole can be right down the road! Some of the best crawfish trapping is inside the city limits and it is perfectly legal to trap there! I have read some amazing stories this year from buyers who have trapped unreal amounts of crawfish even in little creeks right next to their house. Anywhere there is water is a potential glory hole!
REPEAT: Always test the waters close to your home first. Crawfish are everywhere, some people believe you need to travel a great distance to set their traps in known crawfish lakes. That is just not true. Crawfish have continued to spread for decades to new areas either by migrating or transplanting and the mudbugs are now everywhere and their populations are growing at a rapid pace. This fact is still amazes me! I scouted the area I now live in for crawfish 25 years ago and turned up nothing. Now a crawfish trap is catching 100-150 crawfish in a single overnight soak. To top it off I have over 200 small lakes and ponds right close to where I live. I have received reports of crawfish so big that it is a real puzzle how they got in the trap. all in my backyard! It would have been impossible to miss these crawfish 25 years ago but since then they got there somehow. So, check your backyards, grin!

Don't confuse Crawfish Traps with minnow traps!
Don't confuse plastic traps with Commercial Traps!
plastic traps & minnow traps are toys for Crawfish!

Catching crawfish is very easy! Almost any crawfish trap or pot will catch crawfish but, the big question is How Many crawfish will you catch and How Fast Crayfish Traps, My friend Ron during mid April, two weeks into the season.

Crayfish Traps, My friend Ron during mid April, two weeks into the season.

will the crawfish trap or pot catch them. ALSO, a HUGE factor in Crawfish Trap: Escape Proof Crawfish Trap

catching crawfish is the Escape Factor. Once a crawfish eats their fill of your bait they immediately try and find their way out of the trap and find a good place to hide. Crawfish have many Predators and there is no question that it is extremely difficult to lure a crawfish out of hiding and into your crawfish trap. After you have captured a hungry crawfish it is well known that it is extremely difficult to prevent their escape. Once a crawfish is in a trap they are totally exposed, 'or so seems to them', to any predator in the vicinity.

I've been selling a lot of traps to Nevada lately, now I know why! Picture from: Roberto Jannetti Last load of crawdads, one night set about 20 lbs worth!!!! Commercial Crawfish Trap	Hi Terry, Please see the attached photo from last weekend's camping trip in the Sacramento Delta www.SnugHarbor.net. We caught 12 pounds using two of your Sportsman Pro-18 with your bait boxes for only two days! I have used many different traps, yours are the best !! Thank you for an excellent design! Dave and Sheri Barnes
Terry, I took your advice and had great luck. Caught 18lbs in one 8 hour set. I have enclosed some pictures for you to see. Thanks for all the fun, Jeff - AZ	Hi Terry, I chucked the "commercial" trap I purchased from you into the Pit river here in northern CA on my fishing trip a couple weeks ago. the next morning I pulled it out of the water and counted out 88 crawdads!! that trap works very well. I used a fresh salmon head as bait. Cooking them up was fun and they tasted good, better than the Louisiana crawdads I ate at the Isleton crawdad festival near Sacramento. Steve - N. California

Hi Terry, Here a acouple more photos that you are welcome to use or pick and choose from. Best Regards, Steve - Western Washington State 19 pound catch	Terry YOUR CRAWDAD TRAPS ROCK!!!!! My kids love to catch and eat crawdads! I could not believe how many crawdads we caught our first time out. We caught 3 5-gallon buckets of crawdads with 3 traps in one day. Is that many legal to catch? Jim - WA
	Terry, Here are some photos of our typical catch on Strawberry reservoir in central Utah. I promised you some time ago to send some. We think we get some pretty big ones here, but I don't have much to compare them to. Our largest has measured 7 1/4 inches long. The piece of paper is 8 inches long. My catch is in the two buckets to the right in the photo using two Commercials and two of the smaller Sportsman Pro. Our biggest catch for two days is 980. Thanks, Dave Leikis Mendon, Utah
Dear Terry, I am 16 years of age and I have been crayfishing since I've been about 9. I started with a Walmart bought trap that didn't work that well. Then I started doing some lobstering in Maine and I noticed that using shrimp mesh netting for the kitchen heads in the lobster traps worked well. So I started using it in my traps. I began making them all square, and I do to this day. They worked pretty good on 3 night sets. So a few days after Christmas this year I had my dad buy me one of your commercial models off of ebay. And let me tell you, I caught more crayfish in a one night set then I ever did in a three night set. I was proud to show off my 4 pounds of crayfish that I caught in your trap. I hope you continue making these traps and continue selling them because I am looking forward to buying many more from you in the future. Sincerely, Joe Archambault -- Connecticut	Terry, Here is the results of our first time out shown here with my wife. Used a little bag of frozen shad for bait, built a little box out of hailscreen for the bait. They were completely gone in 8 hrs. Going to try and cook them tommorrow. I've been purging them 24 hrs. in well water. They are really fiesty. Your trap works, period. Bob Strickland, central Texas.
Hello Terry, I'm sending you a couple of pictures of our very first fresh water lobster catch with your traps. They work great! Yes, even here in Colorado with 12,000 foot peaks in the background these tasty guys are just in our back yard. This is the result of the traps being out for only 24 hours. Plenty of these guys for tomorrow nights feast! I hope that you enjoy the pictures. We plan to trap until frost, and freeze the extra tails for winter feasting with beer and wine. Best Regards, Ron and Deb Striegel
Terry, I thought you may want this picture for your web-site. My son caught 24 crawdads (all keepers). This was the first time using your trap in a high mountain lake – awesome. This was about a 6 hour soak with trout head and gills for bait. Lynn Fletcher University of Colorado
Cameron From Missouri Cameron caught these in one day with a single Sportsman Pro Trap. Another young fellow from Northern California reported that he caught 116 pounds of crayfish in 8 hours using a single Sportsman Pro in the same exact spot located in a small creek only 16 inches deep. I've done the same in less time but I was using the Commercial Trap during prime time but, this was in Lake Billy Chinook, the lake pictured on this web site. For first timers these two did pretty darn good! Terry	Hello again Terry, Perry here from the cheesehead state. I need a quote on a few more traps to meet my demand for both boils and bait, lol. These traps are just awesome. I never thought that it could be so fun to go out and see what's lurking out there in the lakes and rivers, but it's truly relaxing. Plus, I've had multiple people get hooked on eating crawdads. Since Wi has a HUGE amount of Rusty (Invasive) crayfish, I'm not only doing a great deed by taking them out of the lakes: I'm getting a tasty meal as well. Here are a few pics from our last outing. 10ft of water off of a rock shoal. This is off of a 10 hr soak, and they filled half of a 50 gallon cooler. I wholeheartedly agree that the fresher the bait, the bigger the catch, as these pics show. I've caught some of the largest Crayfish that I've ever seen with your traps. A+ I'd like a quote on three more Sportsman Plus traps, as well as 2 more large bait boxes.
