I am a lot further south, but I boiled 400 lbs last Wednesday and paid .99/lb, then boiled two sacks on Sunday and paid .90/lb. Even with gas prices they way they are, it may be worth a drive down here to save that much on crawfish if you are planning on any kind of big boil.

bought 4 sacks of baby lobsters avg. 39 pounds tuesday.. 40$ per sack.... this was near lafayette though... can get them for .69 cents per pound here in mccomb, but they're not the biggest in the world.... .99 for decent ones here

on a side note, prices are supposed to level off..... they overproduced by accident the past month or two, which caused the prices to drop. They have since slacked off on production.
