Easy Method Of Catching Crayfish?
A Westport fisherman, tiring of his retirement, bought a small boat and went back to his trade. On two successive days, to the amazement of his rivals, he came back to pert single-handed, with huge hauls of crayfish. Curious, they asked him what gear he was using to obtain such success. “A ladder,” was. the reply. He explained that he hung a ladder over the side of the boat, with a small bait set on the bottom rung, and successively larger baits on each rung up. to the top. “The crays simply walk up the ladder, and I knock ’em off the. top into the boat,” he said. His questioners were silenced.
