Crawfish opens in less than 2 weeks

Anyone else looking forward to the opener??
I think we'll be headed to Alder Lake. Also want to go and check out the lower Snohomish River out of Langus Park sometime soon.

I'm almost as excited for these bugs as the spot prawns! There's nothing quite like a good crawfish boil! I'm all set to carpet bomb a small bug infested lake near my house.

Im going to try for my first ever craws at Banks in June. Whats the best bait to use? Any tips on trap placement? Rocks? weeds? Deep or shallow?

Thanks!
