You can find them in almost every state. They seem to exist all over the world in some species or other.

Big Al,
Sewer Lobsters; you definitely have to pick the water in which you hunt. Some water is too dirty to consider the "dads" for anything but the fun catching them and bait. But if the water is nice clean then they can be real tasty. They even sell them frozen at IKEA.

Great recipes and comments everybody! I will have to try some of your traps and catching methods.
