re: Invasive Louisiana Red Swamp Crawfish

The fishermen were using them as bait which escalated the problem
I have family up there that run a restaurant and they did employee crawfish boils for years. Now they're banned

Invasive is invasive
Everyone here is laughing it off like it's no big deal but I am applauding Michigan for trying to get out ahead of it. Everything in the ecosystem has it's place. You assume it's no big deal but you don't know the adverse effects it may have in years to come

I don't assume shite, fella. I know the difference between invasive and native.
You're the one making wise cracks about pythons in Florida being "no big deal", and then trying to act like I don't know the dangers of an invasive species.

Shellfish are extremely sensitive to pollution, which coupled with the increase of sand into the Atchafalaya Basin, have dwindled the crawfish down to endangered levels. When I was a kid we would go run nets in Sorrell Pigeon Shane and have them crawling on the outside of the nets when we pulled them up. Now you gotta go below Morgan City to find any in the wild.
That being said, I'm surprised the water in Detroit has allowed them to spawn in large numbers!
Send a pack of coon-asses up there and let me fish them for a season and remove the problem up there.

Says the moron trying to lecture people on invasive species...on the OT.
Like half the people here give a shite. It's serious, but it humerous at the same time.

Hell, some of them burrow deeper than that.

Should we be able to kill all the White Winged Dove in Louisiana? I live in town and have not seen a Mourning Dove at my feeder in years.
I understand that is a natural expansion compared to someone letting some "crayfish" loose in Yanquis-Land. Is it okay if natural expansion happens but evil if someone drops a couple of crawfish off in a creek in Michigan?
All of life is where it is at because of natural or unnatural expansions throughout history.
Texas has so many exotic species there that thrive and can be hunted that I wonder if it is that big of a deal for a Louisiana "crayfish" to be in Michigan.
Catch it, cook it and eat it.

I lived in South Lake Tahoe with a few other LSU guys years ago. One day walking the docks we saw tons of crawfish and crawfish traps in the water (btw the crawfish were huge). Local fishing guys trapped them partly for bait but mostly to keep them from eating fish eggs. They basically had no use for hundreds of pounds of crawfish.
We decided to have a party at our place where we made jambalaya (without crawfish), Crawfish Monica, and boiled crawfish for the locals. They loved the LA cusine. We cooked for about 100 people. We moved at the end of the summer so I'm not sure the affect it had on the area.

The difference is, that natural expansion is a gradual process...an introduction is not.
And while all species are where they are through natural and unnatural expansions, those unnatural expansions tend to displace native species. Feral hogs, carp, snakeheads, pythons, coyotes, bullfrogs...all have had negative impacts on native species over the course of history because of their invasion of habitats/regions they historically did not occupy.

Feral hogs are starting to become a problem up there too

Nope we have them in lakes in Colorado that completely freeze over during winter.
