Keeping crawfish overnight - How's this look?

Picked up four sacks for tomorrow. Never kept crawfish overnight before. Really don't want to screw it up. Here's what I have set up. Damp towel on top with ice in the bottom corner. Elevated to allow drainage. Think I'll be okay?

With it being cool outside, you will be fine with that setup.

Holy crap man...perfect timing for a thread like this. I'm picking up 90lbs to.orrow for a boil on Sunday. FWIW your method is exactly what Louisiana Crawfish Co told me to do.

Kept a sack for almost two days just like that couple weeks ago. Very little dead loss.

As it melts it keeps them hydrated too, I guess. Definitely put the ice on top. Don't let them set in water.

I kept some for a few days also. Wet towel on top of crawfish. Ice on top of towel. Pull plug.

As cool as it is you're fine. Don't let them sit in h2o and your good. You're going to loose a few over night, but its expected

Wad just about to start. Thread on this. Took 2 sacks out the field at one o clock yesterday. Boiling tomorrow. Got a bag of ice on each with the chest elevated. Hope them frickers stay alive

Your fine. Keep them out of the water.
Posted on 4/20/13 at 8:52 am to TigerTitleHunter
that's way overkill for this time of year but you'll be fine
Posted on 4/20/13 at 12:04 pm to hunt66
