There are a lot of different choices in what bait to use in your traps. This post will focus on what we consider to be the best bait choice. Time and time again the bait that has returned us the most crayfish has definitely been salmon. Salmon is an oily, non-predatory fish that crayfish love.
In our area $4 will buy you a good sized bag of frozen boneless skin-on fillets and when cut up will typically fill the 2 inch bait cages of all of my traps. Check with your local grocery store's fish department if they have any salmon scraps (heads, tails, etc) which also work well.
