Is the lure for cancers fish or garlic?

Crayfish are lifestyle hermits. In the light of time, this arthropod is hiding in shelter, at the slightest danger quickly backing deeper into the burrow. In search of food, crayfish leave at dusk, and in cloudy weather - after noon.
Usually they move in the water at night, pulling the claws forward and holding the tail straight, but if they are frightened off, they quickly sail back, helping themselves with strong impacts of the tail. It is believed that the crayfish are kept in one place, but this is not so: over a week they overcome several hundred meters.

Unusual for their taste crayfish tasted under beer at least once in a lifetime each. Their catching is gambling, prey and affordable even for children. This type of fishing does not require special gear or equipment. The only thing that is necessary is a few traps and a bait for crayfish. These arthropods live in clean rivers and canals, sometimes in lakes. In the daytime they are mostly in their holes, dug under shady steep banks, under rocks or driftwood, and at night move along the bottom, looking for prey. In winter they go deep.

In our country, catching by the use of rakoloks has become very popular, especially since Russian rules do not restrict such fishing.

The advantages of this type of fishing are the compactness of the trap, the ease of carrying it, the ease of installation and testing. Rakolovki do not require frequent checking. Another advantage of this gear is low price.

You can get a pretty good catch, knowing exactly which bait to catch. Cancers are attracted by fresh fish, shellfish and similar living creatures, characteristic for this pond, cake. This arthropod is excellent for eating such fish as bream, roach, and brier, while it is reluctant to pick a perch or pike.

Interesting bait for crawfish is garlic. Experienced rakolovy for this purpose use a loaf of bread, preferably black, passing it along with the garlic through a meat grinder. Then from the received mass roll balls, put them in a cheesecloth and load with bags of a trap. One such portion, as well as one fish, is enough for the whole night.

In addition to fishing with the help of crockery, these arthropods are caught in the same way as fish - for bait. In this case, unlike "quiet hunting" on the hook, this method is not so reliable: the cancer can at any time break. Yes, and gear are somewhat different: they are stick lengths of one and a half or two meters with attached to them fishing lines. Pointed ends are stuck in the bottom of the reservoir, and a bait for crayfish is placed side by side.

Fishing rods are installed at a distance of at least five meters from each other. You need to check them every three to four hours. They are carefully lifted from the bottom and already almost on the surface they catch crayfish on a net. The prey is stored in cages, but is transported without water, in a spacious box.

The most primitive and old method is catching crayfish with bare hands, and in this case no bait for crabs is needed. Of course, this method is not suitable for those who do not know how to swim or are afraid to get hurt.

But one who really wants to drink beer with crayfish, but does not have any handy gear at hand, maybe lighting up the bottom of the reservoir with a torch or a flashlight, get a pretty good catch.

In the old days, there was a good bait for catching crayfish: a fire was lit on the shore, and the arthropods crawled ashore in the dark. They say that in this case on the rocky shore they can be caught up to several hundred.
