When is season really over? I've always been of the not after Mothers Day belief, but I'm still seeing people post pic's of boils this weekend. And it appears that the prices haven't really gone down for live or boiled from places you would get them.

Is this just an aberration due to the lock down, or has this been always going on, but as I stated earlier I just turn my crawfish sensor off after Mothers Day?

Can't answer when it's officially over.

I have boiled all the way into July in prior years for my family from up north who love crawfish(if I can find them). Shells get hard. I just boil them a little longer too.

Did some last weekend and the shells were pretty hard.

I usually stop boiling when the shells get hard. I won't be boiling crawfish again this year.

Fathers Day is about the end of it.

I boiled 2 sacks Friday night that my neighbor gave me. Me, my son, my wife and my mother in law ate a few then peeled the rest. Ended up with 8lbs of peeled tails. Gave my MIL 3Lbs and put the rest up in the freezer. I normally do this at the end of the season and it's getting close.

Same here for me. By that time the shells are harder, it's getting hot out and boiling them is not as comfortable, and if eating them outside, the flies are trying to steal them off the table.

I was leaving Rouses this past Saturday and they had 3 guys with 4 sacks and I asked them what they paid a pound for them and they said $2.49 a lb. That is stupid prices for this late in the season.

Usually after Easter and Mother's day the prices fall until it just gets too hot to boil.
