I have been trying different methods of getting the blasted signal crayfish out of my swim(s) on the Kennet. I have tried pierced cat food tins on string in the edge - this works only to a very limited extent. Tried big cubes of luncheon meat and those big marrow sized dog food sausages - this works in attracting the crayfish but it does not last as long as required.
I must admit that it galls to actually feed the crayfish but they are a pain when legering. I have thought of using boilies or big hard pellets but this will work out expensive. What I need is something cheap, readily available and that is hard so the crayfish don't eat it too quickly. I fish a very little fished bit of the river and feed upstream to draw the crayfish out of the swim.
Any ideas of what I can use?
