You might want to double check the type of crayfish you are catching in FL. I doubt they (papershell) are found in FL according to a couple of distribution records.

Here is a list of the crayfish that you are likely to encounter in Florida - actually quite a few compared to many states. Technically no species of the entire crayfish genus Orconectes has ever been collected in Florida.
