Here is the way it was done:
First, Joey, Uncle Brian and Sophie as well as my daughter Trish put together a crawdad trap. They took 1/4 inch woven wire, commonly known as hardware cloth, and built a trap. it is about 24 inches square with 6 inch sides, They held it together with wire rings. There is a top and a bottom, with a trap door on the top and holes cut into the mesh on all four sides. The wire sides are pushed in so the critters can crawl in but its not so easy to crawl out!
They tried several baits to draw the crawdads in, so here you save some time. They found that fish carcasses, from when I cleaned fish, worked best. They sank the trap in about 20 feet of water. They they waited.......( for advanced crawdadder's its called letting them soak)
After a while, they got thier crawls!
Grandma brought a stew pot of water to a rolling boil. she added 1/4 cup kosher salt, 2 tablespoons of dill, and 1 teaspoon of liquid shrip boil seasoning. In went the crawdads and 4 minutes later they came out, one minute to cool.
