Hey!!
Public Service announcement!
Keep an eye on your emails. There are a few going around with a subject of "Fax" or with a "Fax" attachment. These will often come from someone you know. They are a virus/trojan so please delete if you receive something like this. My organization has been bombarded this morning with these.

Thanks dude good advice and heads up.

I'm sure there are people who still use fax but I can't for the life of think of one person I know who does, it all emails these days.

I will be sure not to open these and thank you for the heads up.

I envy you, I love crawfish but living here in Florida for 14 years I don't know where I could go catch them in the wild, I have to take what I can get usually $9 a pound frozen crawfish that have no taste.

Red Signal Crayfish are everywhere in the UK and are a total menace by killing off our native cray fish and other aquatic wildlife, an ecological disaster.

They taste pretty good and thats also how they got in to our rivers. They were brought over here so they could be farmed and yes you guessed it they escaped.

The craziest thing is they as I said before are a menace but you need a licence to catch them.

Dunno if you have ever gone crab fishing of the end of a pier with a piece of string with a lump meat tied to it?

You can do the same with Crayfish you can even use a chicken carcass tied to a piece of string in a slow moving river and they will start eating it , slowly draw in your carcass and they will still be attached with their claws.

Alternatively use a fish trap with a fine mesh and you'll do well, a fish trap for anyone wondering is similar piece of kit to a creel which is used to catch crabs and lobsters.
 
Well the elvis is heading south 80 miles! Just to cold up here! The wife has 2 night stay at a lavish casino and i have free buffette tickets! I guess il have hit up,the black jack table and eat free crawfish!

Happy weekend AFN!

Cheers Arty, You are talking lobster yummm, Deder is talking Crawfish aka Florida lobster. No Claws except tiny feeders that don't hold their weight. Very similar otherwise. Picture a foot long bodied crayfish with no claws.

Crawfish /crayfish /crawdad all the same kind of fresh water crustation and not to be confused with lobsters which are their sea living cousins.

The British inland water ways are heaving with these little buggers and they do have claws, they're not the most formidable claws abut a little nip is what you'll get.

As I mentioned before the Red Signal Crayfish were imported from the United States to be breed in crayfish/crawfish farms and they got in to the rivers as a result of said farming.

I guess in the United States the crayfish/crawfish may have been caught by people in the know, here in the UK people don't generally know they are in the water, let alone try to catch them.

They are an abundant resource but not many people are out there catching them.
 
Yeah arty you are correct, and i have gone crab fishing as you say usually around a oyster bar we Tie up a piece of chicken and slowly bring it in and swoop them with a net if any crab is on the end, but to my knowledge there is no where around me I can get crawfish/crayfish/crawdads, when I lived in California when younger I recall going to rivers and poking a stick into holes hoping to get a crawfish to come out and quickly grab it and toss it in my bucket. But now a days I just crave them every time I see shows like swampmen, as they are delicious to me.
