Set your traps in amongst those trees Matt. Use the bloodiest/oiliest bait you can get your hands on. We use Pogy shad (saltwater) normally, but ive also used beef liver and even spoiled bacon with some success.
Most of the crawfish farms down here use Pogy or pellet bait, or a combination of both.
so you think id have much better success in the swamp overflow than the creek
