A couple cold days driving prices up.
You think there might be a reason prices go up when the temp drops?
Less crawfish and still higher demand maybe?
I think after Easter this year we will see prices alot lower than we've seen in a while.

I'm the problem, but I like crawfish
My BIL is married to a crawfish farmer's daughter and I can't even get a cut price

They should have the largest profit margin since 2006 , especially basin fisherman, with gas prices dropping so low.

Exactly. Troy Landry is the spearhead of all of this crawfish pricing bs.

Nope. I think there is the same amount of crawfish and two major holidays falling on the same weekend. You see, that's a valid reason, not one or two cold days year after year.

Crawfish are becoming more and more popular outside of LA, which also drives the price up.

Go check traps on a 40 degrees day and then check again on a 75 degrees day in march and let me know if you see any difference

You never invited me the 7 years I lived up there. Thanks CC

Nope, but one or two shouldn't make the price jump 83 cents. Just come out and say the real reason, it's ok. We know it's all about the money.
Its just odd that this was supposed to be a great year for crawfish, yet once again, it's to cold now or whatever.
It doesn't really matter to me, I just find crawfish farmers comical as do 99% of people posting in this thread.

No lie, the season hasn't really even started yet.

Nothing like getting trashed before you even started the boil.
