I'm sure a couple of baws from Chauvin would take less than $2.9 million to fish all the Blue Crab they want

I know some Cameron baws that can sort this out for them. Would only cost Italy some crab boil.

They should definitely fly some South Louisiana baws over and teach the local baws how to deal with the problem.

Somebody from Zatarains needs to fly to Italy and teach 'em how to boil crabs. Problem solved!

Who in their right mind eats clams when blue crabs are available?

At today's crab priced we can go catch them, bring them back and still turn a profit.

if they are catching that many it seems they started too late to address the problem.

We like to fish sometimes at the pier at the public ramp across the street from us. The other day this Vietnamese couple was hanging out trying to trap crabs, kind of hogging the end of the pier.

Yesterday we walked out there and there were like 10-15 fricking Vietnamese people out there at the end of the pier trying to trap crabs. It looked like an entire extended family, multiple generations deep.
