How do you keep them alive for 24 hours ? Ice chest with a little salt water , a little ice ?

Keep feeding them Liverpool female

There is one particular fish that is easy to catch and makes PERFECT crab bait. Hardheads. They're oily and crabs LOVE them. Hardhead+catsfish flipper+machete=dozens of crabs. Enjoy.

We use chicken parts - the grocery store up town here puts 10lb bags of legs and thighs on sale all the time for .29 a lb. Thats a big bag of bait for 3 bucks.

Think I'll set some out next time I go.

I'm probably being an outlaw, but we put whatever is leftover from the filet table in the traps. Since there is an occasional red or spec in the mix, maybe I'm guilty of "using game fish as bait" or something, but I don't feel guilty for doing it if it is wrong.

Guess more than one "outlaw" on here, then...nah, garbage after filleted.
