Cheap crayfish bait that guarantees a catch: the recipe

In the summer, crayfish are best caught in clean water, especially in rivers where water does not stagnate. Although sometimes crayfish can be found in lakes. The bottom plays a key role - crayfish usually live in waters with rocky or clay bottoms. In shallow waters and water bodies with sandy bottoms, you are unlikely to be able to boast of a successful catch.

There are certain prohibitions on catching crayfish: the first is during the period of mating and eggs hatching, and the second is during the spring spawning season. Once or several times a year, crayfish molt and the period of formation and strengthening of a new shell takes place - this process can last about 1.5 months. If you decide to go for crayfish, OBOZREVATEL offers cheap bait that guarantees a catch.

Crayfish traps are usually placed at night, leaving them on a rocky bottom for several hours.

There is one fertiliser that, according to experienced crayfishermen, will bring you a generous catch. It turns out that crayfish are very fond of lard with garlic. There are a few cooking nuances:

1. Lard should be taken with meat streaks. After peeling, a few cloves of garlic should be dipped into the flesh of the lard and left for several days.
2. A piece of lard with garlic should be put into a crayfish trap and lowered to the bottom by about 5-7 metres.

You can also use the usual proven baits:

• wings;
• mackerel head;
• capelin;
• vanilla;
• anise.

In addition, it is recommended to take meat or poultry and various offal (stomachs, heart, liver, tongue) as bait.
