re: Best places for public crawfishing?

Also not sure what your plans are, but If you're in the water walking to them and emptying the nets a #3 tub is money. Floats and won't flip easily. Also get a pretty long stick with a screw or something through the end to pick them up with from a good distance. We have an extendable fiberglass pole that used to have a saw and pair of shears on the end for pruning trees and put a bolt through the end of it.

ETA and beef melt FTW.
