Crayfish traps?

[Steve Sorrell]

I'm after a few traps for those pesky (tasty!) crays.
Any advice on which ones are most effective and easiest to bait and empty?
Seen lots on ebay........anyone tried any?

You do know you need a license to trap crays? Don't want to kill any more of the natives. If the area you are applying for has only signals in it you won't have a problem getting one as long as you remove all you catch and don't use them as bait or transplant them anywhere else.
Here's a link to how to make and use your own trap.
