I wonder if that means this season will last longer
Depends. Some farmers will need to pull traps to get things ready for the next planting season.
My husband hasn’t seen a crawfish .. and they’ve got lots of traps out. I asked yesterday about the outlook and he reminded me that we’ve had a year or two with really late crawfish.
I don’t know if we’ve ever had a year in 26 years with NONE. Bad years yes but I don’t recall a year with NONE.

We usually have early crawfish but that didn't materialize at all this season. Very few people in my area fishing so far and these are mostly permanent ponds as we are not in the rice belt.
There will be an increase in catch later this spring as the young of the year crop matures, but growing conditions are almost opposite from being ideal this season so far.
What I think most people fail to understand is the impact that low availability of seed crawfish and high prices will have on next season and the future of the crawfish market. It's not a given that crawfish populations and farmed acreage will rebound in one season without farms able to afford to restock.
