When crawfish season ends, we drain the ponds. Letting them dry out is a critical part of the cycle. It mimics what happens in nature when the water in the Atchafalaya Basin drops, giving crawfish the signal to burrow and start the next generation. Drying the ponds also gives us time to reset the environment for next year.One big reason this is so important is the crawfish boats. These amphibious boats have cleated wheels on the back. They’re great for moving through flooded ponds during the sea

🦞 Crawfish season is here, y’all, and things are looking better than ever! Our ponds are thriving, and we’re hearing the same good news from all over. It’s rare for crawfish season to kick off this early, and we’re pretty dang excited about it. We’re already shipping live crawfish in early December—and let us tell you, these are some beauties! South Louisiana had a tough year with last season’s drought, but that’s exactly where these early crawfish are coming from. The turnaround is incredible.
