If the weather was perfect for crawfishing, it would still be "ain't catching shite"

I used to work at a seafood market during high school (10 years ago) and it was bull shite. The fishermen would tell the owner they could have truck loads of crawfish and would talk to the owner about farming as little as possible to keep demand high and prices up. It's a win win for the fishermen and the stores that sell em to keep the amount of sacks minimal. I always head to Pierre Part to get them from the fishermen direct and avoid the mark up from the stores. I have never had a problem getting crawfish from around the spillway.

Edit: after Easter is when they would flood the market, I was told by that point, the fishermen and store owners have already made obscene profits. Not complaining about people turning a profit, for the record. This is still America, for now.
