Are you sure the large ones are called rusties? I was under the impression rustles are an invasive and not legal to sell?
NEVER REALLY USED THE POND CRAWS. I THINK THEY ARE HARD SHELL CRABS. THE SOFT SHELL COMES IN AFTER THEY MOLT. Has anyone had just as much luck getting the jumbos with these? Do you peel their skins off? , or just use whole?
I think there is a way for commercial producers to get them to molt faster and more often, but don't know enough to say how they do it. I have thought about producing crayfish as there definitely is a demand in my area.
lol we were posting same thing at the same time lmao.
