Richesb,
Maybe there will be a limited harvest at some point...that would be great, but it's not going to be a knee jerk opening and it's not going to be based on "they're everywhere". If the science opens it up, fine. As for "they've have been eaten" I agree with you. To say that it was the jewfish that ate them is a completely unsupportable statement. Lobster were declining years before the jewfish recovery showed any significance. Add to that the development of the deep water harvest off the southwest Florida coast and the killer virus that attacks juveniles and the increase in reccie diver pressure and yes, it's very likely that the crawfish have been eaten....after they've made a trip up the road in freezer trucks.
