My friend texted me that Fisherman’s Cove in Kenner had boiled crawfish and he said deep water.
Is that something new? I’ve never heard of crawfish this time of the year.
And yes, if this is a real thing, I’m well aware they will expensive as all hell.

They're called deep water crawfish due to the surface of the water being further away from the bottom.

I don't know about "deep water crawfish", but a couple of years ago there was talk about some crustacean similar to a crawfish that would be available in the normal off season. But they were talking about October to January, I think.

Basin crawfish is what we called them.
Swamp crawfish vs rice field field crawfish

People forget that 50 yrs ago basin crawfish were the only commercial option available. Westside of 165 south of Ellick was a good spot for drop nets back in the day.

Basin crawfish
Pillow traps are used to catch crawfish in the Atchafalaya Basin. Deeper water in the swamps, than flooded rice fields. Crawfish harvest / production is based on flooded timber water levels.

Belle River red Crawfish is some of the best tasting. Pond is usually mixed, white, brown, black and red. Red Crawfish will always be your best tasting crawfish.

Thanks for the responses.
I completely understand the difference between basin and pond bugs.
I was just thinking about the phrase deep water because I had never heard that used from a place selling them. And still can’t believe someone has them in August.

They don't flood the basin in March and April so deep water doesn't really start until May. They catch some but not everyone can fish those months.
