Welcome to PBF Mike.

What part of OK are you from? I grew up half way between Ardmore and Duncan. Finished college in Lawton.

I dont know why but it used to be easy to get crawfish from bait shops but I couldnt find any this year.

I got some stocker fish today and the guy caught me 4 huge red swamp crawfish. Not even a small fraction of what I need to do what I want to do but I am keeping these in a tub in the house just to watch them. In the spring going to order several pounds from a farm in La.

I live in east Texas now. And we had them every where too but we went through a bad drought and I think shallow ponds without fish to eat them and ditches went dry so long it killed out a lot of them. My pond used to have burrows all long steep drop off areas of the pond but the last two or three years it went down so low that they couldnt keep making burrows far enough out to keep moist and probably while trying to got gobbled up by fish. Anyway I havent seen one burrow this year.

Hope you find some and let us know how they do.

I wish I had the tenacity of GSF!
