😅Proof Louisiana has a STRONG early season crop! LIVE CRAWFISH AVAILABLE NOW! 👇Why Crawfish Slow Down in Cold Weather Ever noticed crawfish moving sluggishly when the temperature drops? There’s a reason for that, and it’s all in their biology. Crawfish are cold-blooded, meaning their body temperature matches their environment. When the water cools down, their metabolism slows to a crawl. A slower metabolism means less energy, and less energy means less movement. Think of it like trying to sprint in freezing mud—your body just won’t cooperate. Cold water also reduces their muscle function. Crawfish rely on quick, powerful bursts of energy to scuttle and snap, but in colder temps, their muscle response lags behind. Simply put, they’re conserving energy because they don’t have much to spare. This is why crawfish are harder to catch and less active in the winter months. They’re just hunkering down, waiting for that warm-up. So, next time you wonder where the crawfish action went, just remember: they’re not lazy—they’re cold.
