Hey there, thank you for the crayfis video. It was very entertaining. I had to watch out of my left eye. On the 2nd July, I had a catract op on the right eye. Have to use a sheild for a few days more.Looing forward to see you enjoying your meal tomorrow. Annie Low Malaysia. Sad news, my friend who had a crayfish farm, had a stroke and he had to give up his award winning and thriving biz.He worked very hard giving lessons to students and suppying fries to all who were interested God bless him
I ate crawfish for the 1st time last year when my son and I did Fly fishing a Boy Scout Summer camp. And I couldn't believe how good they tasted. Your making my mouth water.
I am always stopped dead in my tracks when you post something. I had to literally force myself to GET UP and put laundry in, first. RESUMING: This went so fast. Nooooo, Joe, I hated to see it end. Your videos are just so satisfying>>>>watching you do everyday stuff. See you at the boil. thanks for the upload.
Joe: We add the potatoes at the beginning. We just got done doing a boil and added carrots with the potatoes and have now added mushrooms to the mix. My mom is from Jennings, LA. so I had fond memories of the Cajun fish boils. (she was Cajun). Really like your videos. Greetings from the Arrowhead.
Really enjoy your videos Joe. I live in north Arkansas now, my wife is a Cajun from Jeanerette, La. Your boil looks like ours except I don't see any onions.
Great catch Joe! Melissa will be happy! Would make some good Po Boy sandwiches! I had the best ones at K-Pauls Louisiana Kitchen! Best time in New Orleans!
Hint: cover cages with dark cloth, either top or all the way around. A pro crayfish catcher left cameras underwater to wonder why he didn't get much, saw them all around his traps but wouldn't go in because they felt unsafe. Got the idea to cover traps with dark cloth, then his catch tripled. The crayfish felt safe like they are going under rocks.
Maybe I've just watched WAY to many episodes of *"Swamp People"*, but I found myself cringing each trip into and out of the river bank...and reaching into the water to retrieve your traps. LOL
Joe, I thought about you this week. I was watching a program on PBS about the anniversary of going to the Moon. This program showed the early days when they were sending men to the edge of Space in balloons. The place they launched the balloons was two hours North of Minneapolis. Which sounded like pretty close to y'all s farm house. So, I thought it was cool as much as you like Star Trek, the real Space race started practically in your own back yard.
I tried SOOOOO hard to watch that show on PBS but the channel kept pixeling out and freezing (I just have an antenna on top of the house roof, no cable or dish). I wanted to watch that show. I instead watched a show on one of the other PBS stations on a man named "Bobby Aro". I remember hearing him as an announcer on the radio station WEVE when we would go up to the folks log cabin years ago. It was still very interesting to watch but I waited all week for the space show. Two hours north of the cities puts you pretty close to the farmhouse area for sure.
never have set a crawdad trap, but had a few meals of them. Always seemed like structure was the key. Find a place with a lot of rocks or concrete in the water. They'll be hiding, waiting for some liver. Kids have had a blast catching them! Can fill a plastic shopping bag with as much as you want to carry in it, fairly fast.
Joe, been watching for a long time. I really enjoy your videos!! I noticed something while watching and had to commit. Just a suggestion from someone who spends a lot of time in the woods of Alabama, invest in some snake boots!! I saw you had sneakers on and had to send a message. In that thick grass and downed trees you can never know where a poisonous serpent may be lingering!! Anyway, thanks for sharing your adventures!! David
I do have boots when I am in Louisiana but up here in Minnesota we have no poison snakes and no poison spiders. I still could have used boots though because of the mud. Thank You David.
What a haul! I wonder if those flooding rains help with the count taken. When you go back take your fishing pole. I bet there a good fish running in that fast current. Have you or Melissa ever heard about soaking craws and shrimp in milk. That it cleans out the digestive track and they taste better? Please let me know you info on that subject.
Joe why not keep in container with fresh water and cover the lid. Normally these sort of fresh alive shellfish.. they can last few days in the water. In fact soak in a fresh water help to purge the muddy taste ... In far east they normally let the river fishes etc in a fresh clean water.. for few days to remove earthy taste. Thanks
They die if you keep them in water for any period of time unless you have an aerator and a big tank. I had to transport these up to the farmhouse and I needed them put to sleep. When you order live crawfish online to be delivered, they basically do just what you saw me do for transporting. Watch the follow up video I am uploading now on the Northern Seclusion channel. You will see that they made it very well. I think I only had 2 dead ones.
In Louisiana they tend to always be in non moving water and up here in Minnesota I have only caught them in moving water. I will be doing a "Crayfishing the north" video in a few weeks and I will be doing it in a lake. We will see how that turns out.
@@davidharris6581 Hmm, I'll have to figure out which is more important. Catching the crayfish or eating the bacon myself. That might be a tough call! 😜
Just curious Joe, is there a difference in taste of crawfish between Minnesota and Louisiana. I’ve never had them, always wanted to try, but have a shell fish allergy. Get violently ill. But might be worth it. 😂 I used to luv shrimp before my allergy started. Ever since the doctors rearranged my guts, I haven’t been able to eat she’ll fish. 🤨🤔😡
There is a little bit of a difference. The "meat" tastes the same but the southern fatty part is yellow and sweeter than the northern fatty part which is green.
Been back to Louisiana lately? Me and a friend have been cleaning the litter in the area you use to crawfish south of Sorrento and it looks much better now. You can see my photos shot there at Naturally Louisiana on FB. The Ascension Parish album was shot there.
I was down there for 5 weeks, I just got back to Minnesota. Melissa is down there right now. I post those videos on the "Northern Seclusion" channel. I did drive into Conway, I did not have time for fishing. That road going in there is horrible now. Maybe next time down I can get in there and see what I can catch. I just looked at those pictures. Very nice.
@@JoeandZachSurvival I have been hammering the LDWF to fix the road!! After 3 months of bitching they finally got the funding. So the road should be getting fixed soon. Glad you like the photos. When you get back down here shoot me a message I'd like to meet ya!
Oh is that what it is called. I saw many years ago some old timer taking about soaking/purging in milk for a spell. He said it made them even better for eating.
Chicken liver works well. Deer liver also. If you can catch a fish in the same body of water (so you are legal) you are trapping and you kill it and put it in the trap your results (if the Crayfish are there) will be amazing.... If not, there are not many Mudbugs in that body of water.

Glad someone else saw it as well!!

Wow! You really dialed in.
I love your videos Joe ! Nature's beauty at it's best.

The rain🌈 is looking awesome. So are the mudbugs.
Joe: We add the potatoes at the beginning. We just got done doing a boil and added carrots with the potatoes and have now added mushrooms to the mix. My mom is from Jennings, LA. so I had fond memories of the Cajun fish boils. (she was Cajun). Really like your videos. Greetings from the Arrowhead.
Nice rainbow at the beginning of the video.

Why wouldn't he/they?
Great day catching mud bugs!! Looks like great eating!
Oh man! I’ve been wanting to request crawdad trappin video!
But, I didn’t wanna be bossy!
Really enjoy your videos Joe. I live in north Arkansas now, my wife is a Cajun from Jeanerette, La. Your boil looks like ours except I don't see any onions.

What a catch 😉👍 never seen anything like it 🦞🦞🦞🦞
Great catch!!!! Good eat's..
It was your textbook trap tosses that made the difference joe. You must have been practicing in the offseason
Great catch

Well done m8 have a great feed enjoy🙂
you should let us watch dumping the crayfish in the bucket more.... its so soothing... and relaxing.. i dont know why...
great day Joe!
Much more satisfying when you catch, and cook your own...
Awesome job Man!!..
Great video joe
Enjoy that catch !!!!!
Great haul.
That’s definitely the best I’ve seen you catch. Awesome 🍻
Maybe I've just watched WAY to many episodes of *"Swamp People"*, but I found myself cringing each trip into and out of the river bank...and reaching into the water to retrieve your traps. LOL
Joe, if you added a Bon Jovi track, you could call this "Muddiest Catch"? LOL

Nice haul but looks creepy as hell in the bucket 😃

Joe, I hope these are as delicious as those I've eaten in Louisiana at Easter!!!
Melissa said they were every bit as good as the ones she has eaten down there.
@@JoeandZachSurvival Joe, Happy to hear that...
Great catch, well worth the effort!!
This is Lucky year for you Joe
That was alot of bugs Joe!!!! Kinda jelly right now, lol. Tyfs God bless you
You sir have it made.
That's a blessing from God I'd say, living off the land and water the way our God intended...
WOW, FRESH WATER CRAYFISH, NEVER HAD THOSE, whats the name of them? we don't have them like that here in Canada? Thanks ,Bob
These are "Rusty Crayfish"
JoeandZachSurvival aaahhhh okay those are the ones threading the Great Lakes, 👍 thank you 🇨🇦

Nice catch .
Thanks! I've seen them up at the crick and wondered how to catch 'em.
Awesome!!! 👍👍👍😎
I love mudbuggin!
Know that looks like fun

Have you or Melissa ever heard about soaking craws and shrimp in milk. That it cleans out the digestive track and they taste better? Please let me know you info on that subject.
I have never heard of that, I will have to look it up.
Nice, if you were out there yesterday or today you'll be catching heat stroke, lol

You did better in minn. than Down south....You guys are gonna have a good boil....Better invite friends to help you eat all them....🦞🦞
All I can say is yum. 😎🇺🇸
Outstanding Joe, You'll have a feast for sure. Best Regards.
Where can I order traps like the ones you are using and what do you use for bait
Big muddbugs what a haul 👍 how can you tell if you have muddbugs can they be in ponds or does it have to be moving water
In Louisiana they tend to always be in non moving water and up here in Minnesota I have only caught them in moving water. I will be doing a "Crayfishing the north" video in a few weeks and I will be doing it in a lake. We will see how that turns out.
Thanks Mr .Joe always good answers
Those mud bugs make good fishing bait also.We use them to catch big small mouth here in Ky.
Using them on any other lake or river besides the one I caught them in is illegal here in Minnesota. They are evasive.
wow how lucky I love crwdadys
Is this bridge in Nowthen?
Is that the Rum River? I think I should try catching some. They look great.
What a haul!! Wish I could figure out how to catch the ones that keep drilling holes all over my property.
piece of bacon on a string works great.
@@davidharris6581 Hmm, I'll have to figure out which is more important. Catching the crayfish or eating the bacon myself. That might be a tough call! 😜
Great job! Be some good eating!
that rainbow to the right of the screen at 0:39!
I almost put a arrow pointing to it but did not want to ruin the view.

There is a little bit of a difference. The "meat" tastes the same but the southern fatty part is yellow and sweeter than the northern fatty part which is green.
Awesome, maybe someone had been helping you check them last year, LOL
Other than the claws, is there any part of the crawfish edible?
You mainly eat the tails. The claws are very little meat.
Looks good
It's been asked - but can you tell us what Melissa thinks of the northern ones vs those down south??
They taste the same as long as I get the boil seasoning correct and this time I did. She says there is no difference.
Nice place...😊
Been back to Louisiana lately? Me and a friend have been cleaning the litter in the area you use to crawfish south of Sorrento and it looks much better now. You can see my photos shot there at Naturally Louisiana on FB. The Ascension Parish album was shot there.

Joe do you purge them for a day or two to clean them out??
Oh is that what it is called. I saw many years ago some old timer taking about soaking/purging in milk for a spell. He said it made them even better for eating.
@@pattiwhite9575 fresh water first day...fresh water with salt the second. They are called mud bugs for a reason 😂
Do you guys purge them for a couple days? It makes a world of difference in the taste...much cleaner taste.
Great video!
What are you using for bait? I'm down by Shakopee, MN and have not had great luck catching'em.
