Crawfish prices have plummeted over $2.00 a # this last week.

I'd imagine the mild/non existent winter means the farmers are catching more than expected, saw a place with live for $2.50/lb, same place was $3.75/lb same time last year.

I saw a place locally that had 5lb boiled for $42, not only does that seem absurd given what other places are charging but that may be the most expensive 5lb of crawfish I've ever seen advertised.

Lots of early crawfish this year. For example, we started fishing on 1/22 last year and caught 4 sacks. Caught 45 sacks today, down from 62 sacks on Tuesday. Been fishing every day except Sundays since 1/1, over 16,000lbs caught. Price is expected to fall again on Monday.

Waa going to put my traps out this weekend.

Looks like .79 cents a lb is coming back and i aint got to work!

We typically don’t catch well until February. We’ve been catching for a month now

Not sure. This is year three for me. I didn't start until 2/1 in my first year. Mid January is a normal start with 1/4lb per trap from good farms. The labor arrives in the first two weeks of January and starts setting out traps.

D-AMMMM. Here in N LA they $5.50 live and $7.15 boiled. I'll go with shrimp til prices drop.

Good. Place here in Bham was trying to sell them at 8/# cooked last year.

$5/lb in winnsboro tonite.
