re: 2016 should be a good year for crawfish BUT

Although the crawfish should be big and plentiful, don’t expect to see much of a drop in price. Collette explains that more people will be fishing for crawfish to make a living due to fewer jobs in the oil industry.
From the most simple, basic principles of economics, this makes absolutely zero fricking sense. More competition means lower prices. More supply means lower prices. When you have more people competing with you, you don't increase the price to make your product more attractive than your competition. The only way that is even possible is if they are colluding on the prices.
These crawfish farmer fricks search for any nonsensical reason to keep the prices high. Sure, charge higher prices on your products if you don't want to sell all of your product, and you want to make less money.
ETA: Have I been had? Is this from a satire article? I don't see a link.

So the market will be flooded with crawfish but the price will go up? I bet you could stump an economics professor with this one.

Crawfish racket will never lower prices. The crawfish bubble will have to burst at some point 
Posted on 2/10/16 at 8:08 am to Crawdaddy
An INCREASE in competition in causing the prices to remain high?

Yeah, odd stance to take. Especially since in actuality oil field slump should weaken the demand due to wide spread job loss of normal crawfish consumers which would create an even greater oversupply if more people are catching them.

I don't think you have to be an economist in order to not be retarded like whoever wrote that quote. Oil field down means less demand, and according to their assumptions, higher supply due to more fisherman. That equates to lower prices. If the prices are still high, it's due to something else.
I came back to Louisiana this weekend expecting decent prices. Called around and was surprised it was 2.79 a pound. I assumed it was due to Mardi Gras.

More supply + bad economy and prices still don't go down.

For the millionth time, farmers do not set the prices!!!!

The real question will be, what's the difference in quality going to be like between all these huge, plentiful "wild caught" crawfish and the small ones the farmers will have?

Fin, are your tiny crawfish going to be worse quality than the massive free-range crawfish that T-Bob will be loading his Triton up with?

I'm getting Clarence Beeks to steal the Crawfish Report so I can corner the market on futures.
