NIGHT CRAWLERS

NEED NIGHT CRAWLERS  THGE CHEAPER THE BETTER

i know the amish kids sell them cheap but i do not go out west much

tackle unlimited sold them last year. i forget exactly but somewhere around $12.00 for 100 crawlers and they where fat juicy ones. you got them in a plastic coffee can with a lid.

You can get a flat of 500 from Poor Richards for $45-$50 thats what we do,buy a flat beginning of the year and one towards the end of the season.I have crawlers left over from october keep them cool and feed them majic worm food and change the bedding every month. There are some hugh happy happy crawlers in my fridge just waiting for the walleye season to begin. 

We rarely use spoons for that very reason hate to hookup with steelhead all they end up doing is fouling up all the other lines.Everyone of them can go belly up as far as i'm concerned. We do use the heck out of crawler harnesess and sometimes renoskys tipped with a crawler,those eyes can't resist a big fat juicy crawler running behind double serrated willow blades LOL!

"that season will start in 2weeks or less "

Amish kids around here charge 50 cents a dozen..Can't hardly pick them myself for that...old back....

I remember years ago picking huge nightcrawlers in my local park , I am sure I can fill a big coffee can in a few hrs. I think this spring I'll make a small worm box for the garage frig too.. deffinitely save on bait also. 2 weeks and counting!

i havre some bad soil for worms too much clay

 
Actually, I've had the best luck with partially composted leaves from the previous year.  Just keep them moist and replentish every once in awhile.  I can catch 15-20 dozen in an hour or two right in my yard, although I don't like to do this too often as they are very good for your lawn, and my back feels he!! the next day.

I made one of these with 2 rods and a extension cord!!!!!

Wally World off Peach St was out of live bait.
Gander had a dozen night crawlers for $1.99 or 25 worms for $2.99
They also had spikes etc.

$.50 cents a doz. is a great deal. I still have 12 doz in my garage frig that I picked earlier this year. 

they are getting out of controle i pick my own.i get about 30 to 40 every night about 11:30 to midnight and i'm saving a ton of money

carpin05,We made 1 of those when we were kids,blew out the fuse as soon as we plugged it in. That was lucky I guess, as we were standing in wet grass at the time.That was before GFI's, Never did find the nerve to do that again.     Kast master: Be sure to wash the crawlers off after you pick them up as the detergent will kill them if you don't.  sam                                                                                                

One tip to help the old backs.
I put on a pair of rubber hip waders and in a good area just shuffle around on my knees.
Saves alot of bending over..
