    You need to get out more.

    Ok....I know about ALL upstate public waterways like the back of my hand. In my 20 plus years of navigating them I have NEVER, not NEVER seen anyone set out traps for them. Also, I have never in my life seen a red colored crawdad with the exception of half rotten ones that I've pulled out of catfish and bass guts. (Once dead, they turn an orangy color inside the fishes stomach).I've got a couple of minnow traps that I catch mud minnows in at the coast. I'll set one in the Catawba river and one in the broad river and let yall know the results....probably won't have a darn thing in them!

    Last comment on this crawdad thread....so what I have learned over the last 24 hours is that the practice of trapping and eating crawdads is isolated to the santee region of the state, and that's apprarently where most of you folk live. These red colored crawdads are not our native river and creek crawdads, they were brought here and farmed around the santee area in the early part of the 20th century and have taken up in those local waters. Yall have fun with that down there!!! Don't go catch'em all now!!!

    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

    Yall must not eat a lot of mudbugs with them little traps when yall have get togethers.
    We normally shoot for 5 -10 lbs per person.

    I buy my bugs cooked and ready to eat from a shack off the buya down here. But I guess you might not be able to buy em like that in SC, I don't recall ever seeing places that sold em.

    They are my favorite invasive, and it didn't take any crawfish doggers to get them here either. I am sure we will find that they are dicking up something or other before long. They arrived in Wateree several years ago and are now thick enough to catch all you want. Every critter from coons to turkeys gorge on them around here.

    Yeah you want to be careful with that. These bugs can play hell on earthen dams, and with the topography of the upstate...
