Swamp Crayfish
The bottom-feeders of the Leonida mud.
Field Notes
BAIT
Small crustaceans found in shallow water. Used for fishing.
Often overlooked amidst the chaos of Vice City, the Crayfish demonstrates the granular detail of the RAGE engine. These small crustaceans inhabit the muddy bottoms of the Grassrivers and the canals of the Gator Keys.
They are not just visual flair; based on mechanics from Red Dead Redemption 2 , crayfish serve as essential Fishing Bait. Catching or collecting them allows players to target larger fish species like Bass or Catfish in the deeper waters.
