I plan to take them (11 and 13) to Sherburne this year but I was hoping there was something closer. I've heard Honey Island Swamp has some spots but I hear you have to give the squatch 20% of your catch.

What about along the sides of 51 near Manchac, I seem to remember seeing people crawfishing out there before? Thanks.

Did that when we were kids, haven't heard about people catching them there in years.

If i had a dollar everytime an old man says they caught as many crawfish as needed in the ditches along hwy 51 when they were young, i could buy about 10 double cheeseburgers.

But not too many places i know of unless you got swamp in your back yard

Someone was talking about catching them in Manchac last year. Might have been the food board. Let me see if I can find the thread...

Hwy 51 sucks unless you leave traps to soak back in the swamp.

Sherburne is your best bet. Only place to catch a lot of quality crawfish. I will be there next weekend and I guarantee I pull 50lbs out in 4-5 hours.
