Season ends mid June
Most folks aren’t aware of the fact that crawfish is a seasonal product.
The old wives tale is J to J (January to June) but realistically, early March to late May is where you will have the best crawfish.
Too early in the season yields very small crawfish while too late in the season may yield a hard to peel product.
Don’t miss out, get the rigs out start boiling!
