wade in a real shallow section. Over turn rocks slowly and they will be underneath. Some swim to another rock just watch where they go. Just be slow turning the rocks and quick with your hands and get them half way down the body so they cant pinch you. They actually taste like shrimp. Boil them in a water with a little bit of old bay seasoning.
 
go to any Academy Sports and get one of their traps. Bait it with shad or any fish guts, if you have a slaughter house or real butcher go see them and ask for beef melt. Crawfish like a stable water level, and vegetable matter in the water. put the trap out and check it every day. Crawfish will last a long time in a mesh sack in a cool place. Wet them every now and then till you get 5-10 pounds. crab/shrimp boil, red pepper, salt, lemons etc. and steam them outside. 5-6 minutes of heavy steam and soak for 10-15 minutes. YOu can rest them in a styrofoam cooler and add some seasoning a little sugar. Cest tres Bon!
 
I use to sein them out of the creek in the woods behind my parents house when I was a kid.

These days I have a wire mesh square shaped crayfish cage that I can trap them with. Use dead fish to attract them inside the cage. The cage is designed to make it easy for them to find the entrance and hard to find and get out the exit.
