Catching crawfish with nets?

I’m looking to catch some crawfish with nets. Does anyone have a recommendations for places around West Feliciana or Point Coupee to catch crawfish that can be accessed without a boat? I have a kayak but I don’t know if that’s ideal. I don’t want anyone’s secret spot just some general recommendations.

You could look into Sherburn South Farm.

Following.
I'm heading to Sherburne South Farm soon to check things out. Note (my understanding) you will need a WMA access permit ($20) and probably a fishing license ($17) to use South Farm.
Congrats OP on your first post.

We've caught them in the drainage ditches in the sugar cane and soybean fields.

I did that for so many years, but that was ages ago now.
Three dozen nets baited with good size chunks of beef melt, hip boots, long pole and one of those old light wooden slat baskets with a piece of rope looped over the shoulders to put the crawfish in.
I'd head out to the canals on the side of old Hwy. 51 between Laplace and Manchac and fill a couple sacks of mudbugs.
Today, I only miss the nostalgia of doing that. Catching a sack or two like that is hard work between baiting the nets, slogging through the water setting them out, running them every 1/2 hour or so and then heading home to clean all of your equipment up and boil the damn things to eat. It could wind up being a long day.

Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge. Its closed now because it’s flooded with Mississippi River water. It’s a good spot to crawfish along the road going through the refuge. It opens when the mississippi river gets down to 26’ in St. Francisville.

Around that area I don’t, but man, that’s some good memories from when I was a kid. Almost every spring Sunday, we’d head out to some ditches around Bayou Black with nets, an ice chest and some melt or chicken parts. Good times.

Ditches along highways and freeways.

Once caught 6 sacks on 18 set nets in just under 2 hours. In the basin. Used a boat to get out there, however.
