Wonder what this years excuse will be for high prices. Every year it is something.
Having crawfished my dads land for 3 years I can tell you, the costs of gas, bait, sacks sucks when you only catch 1/10 of your normal catch because of cold weather.
Theres no conspiracy, but no one wants to go out and work for free so your life can be a little more convenient.

not saying work for free. Just every year it is either too cold, too hot, too dry, too wet, something. Making a living is one thing but now days everyone wants that high def TV and fancy 40k truck. High prices has to support the American dream I guess.

Either way, I can't wait till season. I contribute my share every year of buying them, so who am I to complain.

This is what buyers don't understand. The price of gas goes up, so does bait cause the bait fishermen use gas in their boats. The trucks that ship the "artificial" bait use diesel. My dad has a 35 acre pond and it isn't cheap to run 500 traps. Every 5-6 years you have to replace cages, which aren't cheap.
If you want cheap crawfish, go buy some set nets and find a ditch!
