Crawdads, Crawfish, Crayfish, however you say them (I'm from NC), are they any good bait for bream? My ole man says they are his #1 prime bait for shellcrackers. He also says they are a pain to keep up with and take care of. I have a creek in my backyard and a small unfinished frog pond about 10 feet long and about 6 feet wide and a foot deep. We started digging it out like 5 years ago but gave up on it. When we first started digging, every rain would fill it up and there would be TONS of crawdads in it after a while. To make a long question short, are they worth me digging this pond back out in order to get some?
