I'm just curious...why would you choose crawfishing as the first outdoor activity you do with a five year old. I mean crawfishing can be fun, but it can also be a whole lot of work, travel, money, and generally a pain in the arse. What are you going to do if you happen to catch a mess of crawfish? You gonna clean them? Call a bunch of friends for a crawfish boil, spur of the moment type thing.

Get yourself a .22 and take the kid plinking or bank fishing somewhere or wandering around a wma.

If you have a boat, throw some jug lines out. There are numerous other outdoor activities that are much easier with a 5 yr old than crawfishing. But hey, if you are committed to going crawfishing, i say go for it. As long as you and your kid are enjoying the outdoors, that's all that counts.

Tons of outdoor activities can be a lot of work, travel and money. The key is to be interested in it and get out there and do it. Sounds like he has that going for him.
