Ririe Crawfish dive

[maghunter]

My Dad, two of my Brothers and two of my cousins and I stopped by Ririe to dive for crawfish on our way up to Victor for our family reunion. This is the third year we've dived for crawfish up at Ririe. The crawfish were a little harder to find this year but I think it might be due to the high water, they are just spread out more. We ended up catching just over 200 crawfish this year down from 600 last year. Another interesting thing I noticed this year is the number of bass is way down, but the ones we saw are a lot bigger than the last two years. Most of the bass I was able to get a good look at had wounds around their mouths, I'm thinking from being caught and released several times. We were diving near the boat ramp were there is a lot of fishing pressure. I added several nice lures to my tackle box, snaged on submerged trees. Nothing better than fresh Idaho lobster.
