There is a good thread on the Jennie's board about catching and cooking crawdads. I have never done it before, but I sure love shellfish!

So where are some good lakes, streams, or rivers to put out traps around here? Preferably around the Sound since I am in Puyallup and would rather not go all the way to the Peninsula (unless I combine it with a fishing trip!).

And what type of bait do you guys use? Anything that is pretty nasty and smelly?

Thanks ahead of time for any posts!

Oh, one more question. What are the regs on catching these guys? Any limit, size, season limitations? I will read my regs tonight, but I don't ever recall seeing anything about crawdads.

Thanks again!
