Live Crawfish Storage Question
Posted on 4/3/15 at 10:26 am

I bought 60lbs live and they had to split a sack. The guy put the split sack in a paper bag which obviously won't hold. So can I dump the crawfish into an ice chest and ice them without killing them? They need to be ice for around 5 more hours until we boil.
Thanks

Dump in ice chest. Put ice chest in shaded area. Come back from time to time a wet them with hose pipe.
Do not leave the ice chest full of water!

Cool is fine, it isn't 100 degrees out today, they will be ok in the shade in an ice chest. DO NOT close the lid and suffocate them...

I bought 2 sacks Wed..... cleaned them this morning and I had 8 dead ones in 1 sack and about 12 in another. They were in a refrigerator with a wet towel on top and bottom.

Dump into ice chest. Put ice chest in shade. Don't close ice chest. Drape sack on top of ice chest (i.e. on top of the crawfish. Open the drain.
Every 30 min or so, take your hose and if you have a nozzle, set it on a fine spray and go spray the ice chest over the sack covering the opening.
5 hours is not that long. A lot of times I will pick up at 8 or so and won't drop the first boil until 1.

We drove a few hundred pounds to Missouri once and just left a damp rag on top. When ever we filled up with gas I would spray them with gallon sprayer I brought. Ended up with no more dead ones than usual.
