re: Catching crawfish with nets?

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.

We went last week- the sign says: "Self-clearing permit required for all users" (this is the piece of paper you fill out- it doesn't cost anyything)
"LDWF license or Wild Louisiana Stamp required"- I assumed my fishing license counted, so that's all I had with me.

We had a few big ones, but most were pretty small. I plan to bring waders and go further out a little later in the season. We brought home a sack. We used Beef Melt and 24 drop nets. Melt lasted long enough to pull a sack in. Honestly, probably would have done just as well with half the nets and running them more frequently.

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