2016 should be a good year for crawfish BUT wait for it wait for it
Don't expect the prices to come down. Why? These fools are blaming the Oil Fields for sticking it to us with high craw fish prices. WTF
A member of the Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board says we could see one of the best years for crawfish out of the Atchafalaya basin in recent memory. Wild crawfish farmer Sherbin Collette of Henderson credits El Nino for providing warmer weather and high waters that will contribute to both the size and number of wild crawfish.
“So it’s El Nino that’s doing it because it’s very rare to get flood waters that early in the season, which in turn is gonna help in the basin,” Collette said.
The high waters flushed out many swamps that have not been fished in years, leading to an abundance of crawfish. Collette says the crawfish should be bigger this season because of the warmer, cleaner water in the basin.
“They haven’t fished them in a few years, and whatever’s gonna run there, it’s gonna be big crawfish. There’s no doubt about that,” Collette said.
Although the crawfish should be big and plentiful, don’t expect to see much of a drop in price. Collette explains that more people will be fishing for crawfish to make a living due to fewer jobs in the oil industry.
“Of course, people have to understand the price can go down a certain amount because if it goes down too much, the fishermen cant’ make it,” Collette said.
Crawfish season in Louisiana runs mid-January through early-July with the peak months being March, April and May.

That line of thinking makes no sense

I'm not an economist, but shouldn't that drop the price?

Don't think that dude knows much about basic economic principles.

There's always a reason...

more fishermen means more crawfish...more crawfish means lower prices

Yea - in my mind, a bigger available supply due to more people supposedly fishing means the price drops.

They've finally run out of weather related excuses. Either that, or they're more creative.
The change is nice. I like change.

As long as the folks in Texas are willing to pay silly prices for crawfish, the price will not drop.

There are more people fishing, more and bigger crawfish, but the price won't go down because reasons. frick your ECON 101, a-hole.

Yep. Supply and demand.
Priced might drop a little, but more people than ever around the country are buying them.
