I also catch them at Cardiff Pond when I a really slow bite (which is quite often!) but as open water season went on it seemed they were all smaller.
Anyways, since you're not likely fishing them at Cardiff, THey seem to like the weedier areas or under docks. I put a piece of bait on a hook (just to old it on there) and pull them up. Powerbait surprisingly worked pretty well so if you are fishing for trout at a stocked pond give that a try.
Tons of crayfish in Carson(Mcleod) lake for those interested. I was shocked when I saw them and we caught about 100 hundred by hand with a little kids butterfly net just for fun with intentions of cooking them but changed mind and let them all go. Some were the size of small lobsters.
