I'm sure this has been asked but do you have a way to drain and/or pump it
Yes, I addressed that with the very first line of my very first post. I do have access to a 3 inch honda powered trash pump. Although I was not planning on draining it.
Is it mandatory it has to be drained? It gets pretty low in the summer...
I think we are all over thinking this with aeriation, windmills, pumps, planting rice, etc... There are no fish in there, I'm just wondering if I put a few pounds in it this spring if I can fish it next year and catch 4 times as much as I put in there. In other words, try putting 10 to 20 lbs in and hopefully catch a sack or 2 the next year.

Once the water gets hot, the crawfish will bury on their own. However, if you choose to cut your season short (once the price starts to drop in most cases), you can slowly drain your pond and the crawfish will bury better, sooner.
This makes your crop earlier (in most cases), taking advantage of higher prices. (I know this is for personal use)
Also. Try to keep the ground at least wet when it's not flooded. old tale says that if you can't make a print when walking, you've killed some buried crawfish.
ETA- If you can get good vegetation growth, I wouldn't worry about planting anything. Any kind of grass will suffice
