Live Crawfish!!!

[Chasin'Bait]

Hey guys, I have been a memeber of this website for 7 or 8 years now and I have some updated news on something I am passionate about. CRAWFISH!!! Some of the BIGGEST and BEST TASTING you'll ever see. Naturally purged with artesian well water, raised on a rice diet, making for some great eating!!

I recently became a rep for a very large farm raised crawfish and fresh water shrimp farm, and am currently the only guy in Middle TN offering these for retail/wholesale. I will have them available the first week of Febuary, and every week from then on until the season ends. Probably sometime around July 4th. Projections are good so far so the season could be a great one this year and may very well run way later.

We will have unlimited amounts but we have to drive 4 hrs to get them, so call to set up a time and place to meet and get yourselves some! Prices will be good in Febuary but will get even better by April.

If you don't want or don't know how to do your own boil, I'll come out in my customized trailer and do 'em up for you, as well as teach you everything you need to know to do 'em up yourself. I sell Bayou Classic pots and burners as well as the seasonings and everything else you need, "FOR MY COST" just to get you to keep comin' back for the bugs.

I don't make a fortune on these guys. I would appreciate it if you didn't delete the post. Thank you very much and I can be reached at 803-420-6336. My suggestion is to take this number and save it under CRAWFISH in your cell phone as this post will soon be way down the list!!

Thanks again and I look forward to talking to you!

Chasin, you have been a great member and contributer to this site since 2004... It is related and I may even call you myself later in the year ... I have some friends in MO that loves these things ... <'TK><

mmmmm....crawfish etouffee

[Chasin'Bait]

Thanks TK, I'll let you guys when I start getting them in. They are already coming in but as you can imagine, they are a little weak right now. so its hard to transport them and keep them alive for any real amount of time. Best bet is to put in an order and we'll work out the logistics as to where and when to meet.

Average sack weighs about 33 lbs. We have a recipe from a family friend that boils 50,000 lbs a year and I swear its the best I've ever had. Its not a great secret as most of the info is already on the web, its more in following the recipe to the letter.

This is a new venture for me and I am really excited about it, in that there is nowhere in TN that I can find that raises good crawfish. This particular farm gets about 300 sacks a day out of their ponds.

When I get back from there on Feb 8th or 9th I'll post picturesz of how clean the ponds are as well as the ol' mud bugs themselves. Til then take care and God Bless!!

Chasin are you in the Murfreesboro area?I seen a guy near my house that has a camper that said fresh shrimp and crawfish.It was like a gray color and lives right off Hwy 96.I love them mudbugs for sure and will be interested in them.

Could you give us a ball park price??

[randy10357]

I agree, could you give us a ball park figure on cost? I will bet you can get a bunch of people interested in them. I absolutely LOVE crawfish!! My mouth is watering right now!

Hey Chasin' - welcome back. We haven't heard from you in a while.

I hope you don't mind that I'm going to move this post to the "For Sale" section. Technically the forum title is "Equipment for Sale," and crawfish aren't equipment, but it fits there better than in Local Fishing.

Also, your post will stay close to the top of that forum longer, so it will be easier for folks to find it later.

Let us know how much you're planning to charge per pound and what quantities you'll have for order.

I'm gettin' the word that they'll be around 2.50 to 3 bucks a lb. Could be less, just let me know how much y'all need. The logistics of when and where is the only issue. Remember thease are live so if y'all are needin' large amounts I have to know in advance. The price will be based on several factors as you can see. Let me know what you need!

[Chasin'Bait]

Chasin where are you going to be located at?Also when will you have the exact prices on shrimp and crawfish.

[Chasin'Bait]

Hey y'all.

Prices are unbelievable right now for fresh gulf shrimp, around 8 to 8.50 a lb for the 10-15 count head-on shrimp. These shrimp are unreal in size. Most are 9 inches in length. Check out the pics. These were not hand picked for the photo. They were the first ones out of the sack.

Live crawfish prices are up right now. Its not the season quite yet (still a little cold in LA) and they are selling down there for 3.50 to 4 bucks a lb!! That's my cost! So, in two weeks we hope they'll be down a buck or so. I don't try to make a fortune, so my price is dependant on my cost of course.

By mid March, we'll have it rockin' so if any of you guys want a boil done, I need to know like now! My dates are getting full and honestly, I'll probably be booked solid in two weeks for the whole season.

[tnjimbob]

WOW! Those shrimp are unreal.

Is there a minimum quantity on crawfish? I don't think I could muster up a crowd large enough to justify buying a whole sack, and my family doesn't like mudbugs at all, sadly.

I lived in Gulfport for nearly 3 years in the early 90's, worked at a seafood restaurant for a while and gained a taste for crawfish while I was there. I have my own cooker and all I really need are the crawfish! Wouldn't mind going in on some with others if we have to buy a whole sack full to get that price.

Let me know. Thanks!
