Just came across your video.....excellent content! One of your commentators recommends you try catching them in a clear-running stream.....I suggest the River Roding upstream of Buckhurst Hill where the river runs fairly quick and clean (or used to) over gravel. There were a lot of freshwater mussels upstream of Chigwell Lane too. That was my fishing ground when I was a boy. The M11 runs through the valley there nowadays so access is trickier now. Ps I live in Australia now, shortly to head up to the tropics. Keep up the good work 🤗

USA- southern Oregon and going again for crawfish- we have native signal and 3-4 invasive s now; ballast water fro aisa and idiots that have them for bait or house fish tanks go out and dump them where ever and they attach to boats and lines and move.

This (crayfish fishing) is something my girlfriend and I want to try so I'm going to look into potential mesh net sites near Grays, Essex, and see if I can pick me up a few of these invaders ... the license is free so well worth doing, and they're supposedly delicious, so game on.

@@shorefishingessex Will deffo have a bash - and they're supposed to be super-tasty, which means we can feast AND do the environment a good-un at the same time :) A mate down in Surrey (sometime carp fisherman) has got a few traps and now has hundreds of the Signals that he's cleaned & de-gutted (as per your tip), then halved and boiled/steamed, then peeled and bagged and frozen in portions that he's then put in the freezer - he says they freeze really well so anytime he fancies a scampi/shellfish treat, or a recipe calls for high quality shellfish, he just slowly defrosts a packet in the fridge and that's him and the missus sorted - for free! Result. PS: for a superb crayfish seasoning (for a rub or flavouring butter) try an American seasoning called Old Bay - it's not available in most UK shops but you sometimes get it in Hypermarkets or Amazon do it - it's not cheap but a little goes a long way and it's perfect for crayfish and prawns and the like - any seafood, in fact.
