Mitch f Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 Some various specimens I've collected over last couple of years MOsmallies 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Old plug Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Everytime I go into my friends shop I see a very small part of his collection ( about 75 or so) of wiggle warts. I know they catch fish but I cannot see all the excitement surrounding collecting them. In my friends case he is a world class collector a d has one of the largest lure collections in the world. I used to know how many different lures he had in his collection.The figure is astromonical and about unbelievable. All I know is it has to be housed in a building somewhere I think along with his collection of fishing reels that numers around 4000. I have never seen both collection in their entirety. I would probalbly get bored anyway.

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Mitch, those are on part with the ones I have always caught and,seen. Only seen the blue ones in fish stores.

Members BearFisher10 Posted October 18, 2016 Members Posted October 18, 2016 Any chance these two species of crawfish just reside in different depths? I've been noting the color and size of crawfish in my livewell after a tournament for the last year or so. It seems that whenever I'm fishing shallower stuff I get the little orange guys spit up. Whenever I'm fishing deeper stuff the big blue crawfish are in the bottom of the livewell more often than not. I believe Mr. Babler actually mentioned something about the big ones out deep and a big jig last year around the time the BASS Open was here. Champ188 1

Funny you mention that, I was just talking about this the other day. So the crawfish in the live wells are half digested and spit back up. I'm pretty sure the color they are in the live well is not a true representation of their natural color...just my take anyway. abkeenan 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Gavin Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 MDC used to have a nice crawfish page. Their are a bunch of different species and the like different depth & habitat. Some are only found in certain areas on different streams & lakes. Think those big long pincers are a Tablerock only thing. Would be good idea to know where they like to live.

Sorry I should have been more specific in what I meant instead of using colors. I am fairly certain the color fades on the half digested ones as well. What I meant was the long pinchered crawfish (typically blue tint) usually always come from out in deeper waters and the small pinchered crawfish up in closer to the bank. I do get the small pinchered ones spit up when fishing deeper as well but who knows what that fish was doing prior to getting caught. Just observation though. Mitch f 1

If I find anything I'll post it on here. Mitch f 1
