Come to think of it I haven't seen them in The Bait Shop in Hendersonville in a long time and always wondered why.
The creek is always a good source but you can get some really big ones use a trap on Old Hickory similiar to those for minnows. Put some dog food in there and the'll crawl in but can't get out. A friend of mine told me about one time they did repair work on the Lock and had to drain then use a bucket to dredge it out. They dug up hundreds of big ole crawdads enough so that they donated them to a local church for a boil.
Down in Texas at Lake Fork we could have bought water dogs to uses as bait but they were like $4 or $5 a piece.
