As a joke you should get a lobster or two and put in a trap for Houston to find. Make a catch, clean and cook of it. Couple of chuckles and a great dinner.
@Brenda J that would be No Bueno! Unless in a sealed clear bag or clear plastic bottle with salt water. Or anything moist. A lobster CAN live out of water for several days as long as there is a little moisture and that it's gills stay moist. Or use a frozen one. As long as "found" within 1 to 2 hours, will not damage meat
😀 by the looks of the go pro footage, the blue gill and sunny minnows like those traps! Because, the don't get trapped in em! 😂 I don't have a creek to trap in, we have a shallow spot on the river, but I would not want to trap anything from there. Ill keep looking. Love you family videos! Thank you for sharing, have a Great Day!
I've always had good luck off raw bacon in my minnow traps, the traps made out of regular galvanized metal seemed to always catch more than the traps with the black coating
Crawdads go upstream in September- (Best time to catch them) we catch them at the top of the lake just below the next dam where they can't go any further.
Your son is a awesome little man like the way he enjoys the outdoors. Your doing a great job with him. Thanks for being a Dad not just there. God bless and keep on keeping on.
Remember it flooded not too long ago, crawfish have to replenish, they do best in still water. There is a BIG difference between cream style corn and sweet corn. Keep it up, and remember, when you figure it out, someone will change the rules. Thumbs up!
" Technically we did 100% better." Always the bright side. That's awesome. Houston on the 4wheeler reminds me so much of my brother on his 1st 4wheeler... TFS
Daniel, with the dog/cat food try a cheesecloth bag and put bait in it and tie the ends and tie to center of the trap. It will keep smell constantly in area, but bait won't disintegrate and wash away. Maybe not enough smell can get out of cans with just a few holes. Never had much luck with corn except for catfishishing.
I like the music you used for the fishing traps... cute👍Bear came to make sure you're doing it right! Good boy Bear and good Bella. Enjoy seeing them run with you 😁
Awesome intro Houston u are quite the commentator👍as always another great video guys 😁try some rag bologna in those traps it works great for me have a blessed day Arms family
50 years or so ago when I was a kid, we’d tie a safety pin to a string and thread that pin back and forth through a 1/2 piece of bacon. We’d lure the crawdads out of their holes and catch them by hand. Caught some huge ones that way. 6”-8” long. Maybe try bacon.
Daniel, is it possible some of the deer corn has dropped in the creek where you set up the one way feeder? Perhaps that is where all your crawdads have gone.
Kelly Green, if I'm not mistaken it is possibly down stream. If it went off during wind or a good rain happened; I believe some of it would have blown or ridden the runoff water into the creek.
Have you tried raw beef liver chunks? We always used liver to catch them from the canals and Rivers in Calif. We didn't use traps either. We attached a light rope to it and dropped it in a hole (river) or near the drops/fall in the canal and within minutes we were pulling them back up, covered with crawdads. Never left it out.
Bacon is my all time number one bait put 3 peices and you will for sure catch alot of crawdads corn also works just sweet corn thow not cream style thanks i would love to see more of these videos more often
Dang Houston....you rocked that intro young man. You do have an amazing teacher though. Be on high alert Daniel, Houston just may commendeer your channel.Lol God bless and be safe!!
Hey guys.. great vid.. I'm in the same boat as Blake..lol.. just getting off the couch and into the TH-cam world. Your my favorite channel.. I haven't found my Niche yet but I'm working in it. Thanks for the inspiration 😌
First, that was cream corn not sweet corn. Second, need a new area for trapping, over trapped that part of creek. When I was kid, my brother, cousin and I caught crawdads by diving in the deep part of creek, feeling with our hands on the mud, grab and bring up a crawdad to put into a bucket. We caught about 40 per outing.
Have you done any scouting for crawdads? Up here in Pa you can walk a small stream and see in the bank where there are a lot of small holes where they make their homes. Then we use dry dog food in the traps.
Hi Daniel over here in Australia we use meet with a little bit of soap in the trap the soap takes the smell of the meat though the water and attracts the crawdads or fresh water crayfish that’s what they are call over here. I have a small creek that run through the back of my place we get them all the time this way
Another great day with the family in Okielahoma hope you get a pig out of all that corn your using as always thank you for sharing your day be safe on the interstate and catch a bad guy
Bella certainly does love to run! I love it when she turns her head while she's running....checking that you're still following. Bear!!!!!!!!!! I have an idea! How about using a dry cat food or Tender Vittles? Tightly wrap the dry food/vittles in a piece of an onion bad so that the food is pressing against the mesh. That way, the fish/crawdads have access to it without the food getting washed away. I suggested cat food because maybe the higher meat content will be a better attractant. But, yeah..... if all else fails, go buy some crawdads! lol
I think that you might try some worms that were left in sun to long in a bait box. Try putting traps out in an area with more mud on the bottom. I'd try over against the mud banks across the creek from were you have been. Meat based bait would work the best I would think. Maybe fish carcasses?
Danial, you better watch it, Huston is taking over your youtube, next, he will be teaching you what to do and changing the name to Hostons how to homestead! Maybe a future channel. ? lol.
Wonder if you poured some corn out into the trap. The holes look small enough it won't go through. Poor Houston eh, he better off waiting he be bummed for a bit at school. Nice to see your friend, think I subbed to his channel when he did camp on your land. Take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))
Hey Mr Daniel,in South Georgia I've used chicken and or pork fat,does pretty well, I've found that crawfish tends to like more of a fatty meal than just plain lean meat, it's worth a try,if you wind up getting a wild hog,a catch n cook on the grill would be nice,be blessed!!
I off-road with my hyundai elantra gt 😁 Bear has such a cool look to his facial expressions. 🐻😎 Hopefully y'all can find the right bait or right spit or both. Be safe, be good, God bless
We used regular canned corn to catch catfish when I was a kid. It worked. Dont know if it was because that was the only thing in the pond or they really liked corn. Better luck next time. Have a great day.
Bait suggestion - use seafood/fish flavored cat food, the cans are smaller/cheaper, and easier to deal with. The oil in the fish based cat food puts out a great scent trail for the crawdads (and shrimp too, which is where I learned this bait lesson).
Awesome intro, Houston! 👍🏼 As a boy, my husband caught crayfish from a particular stream here on Oahu. The fish were so plentiful, they'd reach in and just grab. My family went crabbing and used aku (tuna?) heads in the nets. Would fish heads work on crawdads? I'm also wondering if beef jerky would work. No matter if you catch 1, 20, or zero - your videos are SO fun! 💗
I have tried the black plastic covered traps for years and never had luck with them , using an assortment of different baits. Caught lots of crawfish with them but not many minnows. I use a zinc coated or silver colored trap and catch them almost full of minnows , while using fishing line to tie up a couple strips of bacon and suspend the strips to the center of the trap so as the bacon stays in about the same place in the trap. The silver colored traps work much better IMO
Here is what I use to catch baitfish down here in SW Florida when it is time to fish.....Ingredients...2 cans of sardines in oil, 2-4 hamburger or hotdog buns, water and 1 plastic container(tupperware or butter tub). Directions = Crumble the sardines into the tub. Crumble the buns into the tub. Thoroughly mix these 2 items together. Begin adding water and mixing slowly. Water is used to add bulk but you do not want the water to overpower the other ingredients. If you end up to watery just add some more bread and some olive or sunflower oil. Mix this potion up the night before you are going to use it and just let it sit in your garage overnight. This will help make it stinky. :) This is messy as the best way to mix this is by hand since you can feel for big clumps that need crumbled down more. You are looking for the consistency of some wet oatmeal for the finished products. To use this in a trap just wrap some of the mixture in a cheese cloth and load in traps. I use this in shallow water(6 to 8 feet) here to catch baitfish by castnet and it has never failed me to bring the fish in. I can fill my baitbox up with Pilchards, Pinfish and grunts usually less then an hours time.
Crawfish are mainly vegetarian (google it). I use fresh corn on the cob smash it up a bit and some par boiled sweet potato. We got 72 where my mates were using meat and got 17.
You need to use whole kernel corn and get pair of knee high stockings. Put the corn in it and tie it up. When the crawfish claws touch it they get stuck to it.
After traveling to the pond and putting the trap together, all we had to use for bait was part of a peanut butter cookie. Caught so many minnows it was unreal. Literally a couple hundred.
Frozen bread seems to work best in our minnow traps. Meow Mix seems to attract more turtles, catfish, and crawfish.... which isn't bad if that's what your aiming for.
Great video,👍😄 Houston💖 you be riding that four-wheeler zoom,zoom,zoom💥😊🤣👍 Daniel up here when water gets chilly there no crawfish,,but you can play a trick on Houston go buy some big ones an surprise him,put them in the trap😄😄😆😆🤣🤣an he be so excited,,that would be a Great video👍😄😆😊💖
Thanks so much for the shout out good buddy. You and all your followers are awesome, man. So much love and support.
FYI....drink an ounce of apple cider vinegar before meals help the fat desolve. Can put it in water.
Urban legend.
Peggy Sue that stuff is nasty tried it and no way
I added your channel big guy...looking forward to watching it
@@1212venturesome Thank you, Rick. I'm getting some stuff ready to upload in the next day.
Good laaawd Houston is adorable. He's a natural!
Houston is becoming a pro at intros

Great Into! As a kid we would tie uncooked bacon on the end of a string to catch crawdads, maybe a few pieces might work.
I've always had good luck off raw bacon in my minnow traps, the traps made out of regular galvanized metal seemed to always catch more than the traps with the black coating
He is just so awsome i have to catch back up had surgery but im glad im back missed this channel
Chicken liver and gizzards are better for crawdad traps
Crawdads go upstream in September- (Best time to catch them) we catch them at the top of the lake just below the next dam where they can't go any further.
Yes sir they do
Your son is a awesome little man like the way he enjoys the outdoors. Your doing a great job with him. Thanks for being a Dad not just there. God bless and keep on keeping on.
It would be funny if you ordered a bunch of live crawfish and filled that big trap with them and took Houston to check the traps. lol.
No! A lobster or two. That would be funny.
The lobster would be hilarious!
@@ErnieHatmaker , It would be funny, but I think the Lobsters die in that creek water.
Remember it flooded not too long ago, crawfish have to replenish, they do best in still water. There is a BIG difference between cream style corn and sweet corn. Keep it up, and remember, when you figure it out, someone will change the rules. Thumbs up!
Loved it, watching the little fishes come up close and personal, saying hello to all the fans!
" Technically we did 100% better." Always the bright side. That's awesome. Houston on the 4wheeler reminds me so much of my brother on his 1st 4wheeler... TFS
I'll support anyone you recommend I love your channel and everyone you recommend!😀
I love there videos and it's awesome that they be adventering all the time
Did you leave a can openers for the fish .lol
I wish I could send you guys a picture of the crawdad I caught out of a creek this morning! HUGE
Hay y'all. Just got out of the hospital. Doing some catching up.
Great video again Daniel 👍👌
Sweet corn might work, but not cream style corn. Sorry.
Know it all
I've never seen creamed corn in the can. Whole corn poured in the trap, yes. Smaller holes a must.
Daniel, with the dog/cat food try a cheesecloth bag and put bait in it and tie the ends and tie to center of the trap. It will keep smell constantly in area, but bait won't disintegrate and wash away. Maybe not enough smell can get out of cans with just a few holes.
Never had much luck with corn except for catfishishing.
Go Ed! Love seeing Houston running around on the ATV you sent him. Awesome!
Crawdad's are like Lobster, Crab's or even a Buzzard they are carrion eater's the food has to stink to attract them to the source (The Trap).
Always enjoy watching 😊 keep it up!!!!
I like the music you used for the fishing traps... cute👍Bear came to make sure you're doing it right! Good boy Bear and good Bella. Enjoy seeing them run with you 😁
Was wondering how you were going to put creamed corn in the trap without making a mess lolololol
Awesome intro Houston u are quite the commentator👍as always another great video guys 😁try some rag bologna in those traps it works great for me have a blessed day Arms family
Nice try... The biggest crawdad catch I have ever had was well over 100 in one trap. The bait of choice was a catfish carcass.. Give it a try!
50 years or so ago when I was a kid, we’d tie a safety pin to a string and thread that pin back and forth through a 1/2 piece of bacon. We’d lure the crawdads out of their holes and catch them by hand.
Caught some huge ones that way. 6”-8” long.
Maybe try bacon.
Daniel, is it possible some of the deer corn has dropped in the creek where you set up the one way feeder? Perhaps that is where all your crawdads have gone.
Virginia Reid I wondered about that myself. I don’t know how far away that feeder was from where they put these traps,but I wondered about it.
Kelly Green, if I'm not mistaken it is possibly down stream. If it went off during wind or a good rain happened; I believe some of it would have blown or ridden the runoff water into the creek.
Love your channel. You have inspired me to start my own channel. Corn is king😁
Have you tried raw beef liver chunks? We always used liver to catch them from the canals and Rivers in Calif. We didn't use traps either. We attached a light rope to it and dropped it in a hole (river) or near the drops/fall in the canal and within minutes we were pulling them back up, covered with crawdads. Never left it out.
I haven't yet.
Bacon is my all time number one bait put 3 peices and you will for sure catch alot of crawdads corn also works just sweet corn thow not cream style thanks i would love to see more of these videos more often
Chicken Livers??? I Remember doing that once with friends when I was young....caught a lot. (In Kansas) hope you find success Houston 👍😊
Corn is always gooder !!!
Love how active he is with your videos 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Welcome back guys this is Huston from the best channel on you tube this is what I think
The GoPro footage was pretty cool!
Dang Houston....you rocked that intro young man. You do have an amazing teacher though. Be on high alert Daniel, Houston just may commendeer your channel.Lol
God bless and be safe!!
Hey guys.. great vid.. I'm in the same boat as Blake..lol.. just getting off the couch and into the TH-cam world. Your my favorite channel.. I haven't found my Niche yet but I'm working in it. Thanks for the inspiration 😌
We’ve never tried it! But my daughter and I are excited about trying it out!
That fish was like “what in the world is that thing?!” Looking at the camera
Nice video and excellent intro little guy! Thanks for the share!
Love the video I subed and turned on notifications and liked🐟🐟🐟 😸😸😀.
Love this Channel.
I’ve always had good luck using a sane. Give that I try and you’ll get your catch and cook dinner.
Great idea, works a treat!
Maybe you should used an ear of corn so they could eat off the cob. Hey Houston, enjoy your school days! Best wishes to your family
In south Louisiana "crawfish season" usually runs from around November to May. We do not trap them in the summer.
Finally another trap video love the videos
First, that was cream corn not sweet corn. Second, need a new area for trapping, over trapped that part of creek.
When I was kid, my brother, cousin and I caught crawdads by diving in the deep part of creek, feeling with our hands on the mud, grab and bring up a crawdad to put into a bucket. We caught about 40 per outing.
Always enjoy watching your videos. Maybe try chicken livers. Can't say if it will work, better luck next time. Take care and best wishes
Ditto...always works for catching catfish
I love your all’s videos of trapping with Houston
You needed Bear when that cougar or mountain lion was right behind you on the last vedio
so I fell on my bike and i got knock out and when i watch your videos I feel better
The the weather and water is cooling down so they are not as active and starting to go dormant
12:42 i’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
Have you done any scouting for crawdads? Up here in Pa you can walk a small stream and see in the bank where there are a lot of small holes where they make their homes. Then we use dry dog food in the traps.
I love these trapping videos can’t wait for hunting videos
Hi..... Daniel, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐩🌱🐐🐄🐠🎥👍👍👍
Hi Daniel over here in Australia we use meet with a little bit of soap in the trap the soap takes the smell of the meat though the water and attracts the crawdads or fresh water crayfish that’s what they are call over here. I have a small creek that run through the back of my place we get them all the time this way
Daniel, for crawdads my husband says use velveeta or cheese. That's what he said he used in Niles, Ca. when he was a youngster.
Another great day with the family in Okielahoma hope you get a pig out of all that corn your using as always thank you for sharing your day be safe on the interstate and catch a bad guy
Use dry dog food in bait box,Canned won't work.
3:40 a minnow got out of the trap
Houston is about ready for his own filming!
Hope you hit 1 million subscribers
A friend of mine in Texas uses fish heads in his crawdad traps. He also had success with hocks or chicken livers.
Have a wonderful day!
Bella certainly does love to run! I love it when she turns her head while she's running....checking that you're still following. Bear!!!!!!!!!!

rodburner,New Mexico,we catch crawdads with beef buritos in the Rio Grande
Vienna sausage worked well for me. About 1 and 1/2 in the trap and I eat the rest. Works out well.
Crawdads have been scarce this year in our river barely even see any. Other years you couldn't take a step without seeing 20.
Good intro Houston I'm proud of you good job
Wonder if you poured some corn out into the trap. The holes look small enough it won't go through. Poor Houston eh, he better off waiting he be bummed for a bit at school.

We are watching a very successful channel
hey daniel watch the traps closely you can see where the little bluegill was going in and out of trap.....Lol
Try whole sweet corn. Pour it out of the can into the trap. We use corn for fishing. Give it a try. I think that will work better.
I off-road with my hyundai elantra gt 😁
Bear has such a cool look to his facial expressions. 🐻😎
Hopefully y'all can find the right bait or right spit or both.
Be safe, be good, God bless
Try summer sausage. We catch them in funnel traps in Missouri.
We used regular canned corn to catch catfish when I was a kid. It worked. Dont know if it was because that was the only thing in the pond or they really liked corn. Better luck next time. Have a great day.

Chow for crawl fish cuz it smells and they like it I've called 21 in one trap
Crawfish are mainly vegetarian (google it). I use fresh corn on the cob smash it up a bit and some par boiled sweet potato.
We got 72 where my mates were using meat and got 17.
Ive had good luck with bologna or danny king bait in a small ziplock bag with some holes in it.
You need to use whole kernel corn and get pair of knee high stockings. Put the corn in it and tie it up. When the crawfish claws touch it they get stuck to it.
First one here like if they should've put Houston in them 2videos and for now own.
