Crawdad regulation

[austin.brown]

I have looked all over wildlifedepartment.com regulationa and the fishing guide you can get at Wal Mart to find the regs on crawdads and cannot find anything. If anyone out there knows the regs or where to find them please let me know.

Thanks

Are you wanting to catch them to eat, or for bait?

 

[austin.brown]

To eat them.

Well first you have to find them, then since they are commonly used as bait for catfish around here I would suspect that there is no regulations on them, they are just a bottom feeding cleanup crew that eat the dead fish in the ponds and lakes so eat all you want, but cook them first,,,,,,No crawdad sushi in Oklahoma! Thats just un-natural

We use to go to the lakes and look for rocks in shallow water. You can pick up the rocks and catch them pretty easy. If you are looking for some to eat, try http://www.caonguyen.com/ They sell them. They have some big ones in there.

There is an oriental market in OKC that sells them live in an onion type sack.

Make or buy a crawdad trap, throw in a piece of bacon for bait. When you catch them, keep them in non-chlorinated water for a couple of weeks and they'll clean up and taste a lot better. Change the water and feed them every other day.

No regulations on trapping crawdads unless one is selling them for profit.
Like okie said, use a trap.
I've found very few that are as big as those raised domestically.

Used to catch them in just about any puddle with some bacon inside of a piece pantyhose tied off with your throw string. Throw it in, let it set awhile, and pull it out covered plum up with them.
