Best thing to do is just wait 2-3 weeks, with as much water as there is in the Basin, a little warm weather and a fairly early Easter, should make this one of the best crawfish seasons in a while (for consumers anyway)

I haven't checked this year yet, but the past few its been Courville's in Port Allen. I boil several times a year, and they were always the cheapest.

Edit: sorry, thought you meant live.

To make any money that's about what you need to charge ($5.50/lb). With shrinkage from boiling and a few dead ones mixed in you only end up with 80-85% of your starting weight. Plus you have the cost of the seasoning and the propane.

Mike Willie's is cheaper than anyone. From what I saw most people were around $4.50/lb.

She's the cheapest around probably because she beats up on her suppliers so bad.

May be a bit longer than that but I can't wait. I love crawfishing. Dad and I go in the spillway. We enjoy it. We rarely ever buy crawfish.
