Catfood? Really? I would never have guessed that in a million years. When I lived in Texas we would go to Louisiana for a bucket of crawfish. Yum!! Isn't it just like winning the lottery when you see the cages crawling with them? Enjoy your feast!
We go crabbing here in the Maryland/Virginia tidewaters and we use chicken necks. Works like a charm! It must be the regional tastes. :)
Good luck with the trout fishing!!
