I wasn't tryna work you that hard.

We used to run them all over, from Pierre part, back in the spillway, to Morganza. We were too cheap for storebought.

I heard today that there are crawfish down in the Everglades, but some invasive species of eel looking thing is gobbling most of them up. I never heard of FL crwfish before.

Just not gonna buy crawfish this year. I’m not bothered by it. You go get 4-5 pounds cooked and then served to you, it’s gonna be around $100.

I’m just not upset not paying that

8.99 for boiled in my area around Houston. Price has come down quite a bit. I think I paid 7.99 last year for cooked.

That Boiled Half & Half for $35 doesn't seem like too bad a deal right now, all considered. Get a taste of good boiled crawfish and finish filling up on some shrimps.

Couple boiled potatoes and a sausage link to go with it, and I'd be satisfied for the time being.

UHHH, those are crawfish nets, not traps, and as far as I'm concerned, use beef melt for bait since it is bloody as hell and holds us well as the crawfish feast on it.

Me and one of my cousins would run 3 dozen nets up in Laplace and catch a couple sacks a day when we'd go.

Too old to be slogging through the swamps now.

Crawfish farmers should find another source of income. I refuse to pay these ridiculous prices.

6 to 8 of those things won't catch nearly enough. You'll be lucky to get 3 in each. That'd be 18-24 crawfish which at this part of season is 1 lb. Gotta set out at least 50 of those today for a meal.

6 to 8 industrial crawfish traps in a stocked pound at this part of season isn't enough for a meal for 1 person.

Many also grow and harvest rice.

You might, but there’s restaurants selling and consumers buying in lots of places.

I'll eat boiled shrimp where just 2 lbs. of them is pretty much more than the average person can eat----and if corn, potatoes and sausage are involved, you won't come close to eating 2 lbs.

Sure, sure......

I patiently await all of the "Where are all the damn crawfish?" threads that will be posted endlessly on the OT if that were to happen.

Or when there’s less supply than what’s in the market now, prices will be even worse than right now
