Brettski: The crawdads are at the edge of the water all times of day but less so during the hot afternoons. We've been baking (100 degrees plus) for over a week now.
When I feed the fish about 7:30 or 8:00 each evening, I rattle the cup. DH says the crawdads don't hear it, but I do it anyway. I may only see a few, but as soon as I rattle the cup and throw fish food down at the water's edge, they come after it! We'll have 20 or more just within view of the dock (deck/pier).
They either "dance" in the water, grabbing wildly for what is overhead with their claws, or they will crawl out onto the bank for it if they have to. Guess I should take a short video of them...it's very fun to watch!
We have all sizes (from 1" up to 6"). We've seen one that is HUGE. We also have an assortment of colors, from light to black.
