NIGHT CRAWLER CAPERING

Stopped into a local bait shop to pick up some crawlers for harnesses for a day of walleye fishing.  opened them to take a look and was surprised to see worms that were only 2 to 3 inches in length.  checked numerous packages, all had the same sized worms.  hardly useable on harnesses.  went to another shop and found much longer worms.  what got me though, was this shop was charging the same price for the smaller crawlers as they do for the larger ones.  hardly seems right, as all these little ones would be good for is to cover a hook while still fishing.  if these shops aren't going to leave their worms in their bedding to grow, the least they can do is charge appropriately.  so buyers beware.  make sure you're getting a dozen decent sized crawlers for the money you're spending.

Its called go outside an get them by the hundreds free.

good point mountain man, don't know when i got away from doing that.  and brian, i know the difference between red worms and night crawlers.  the kid even said he hadn't packaged any red worms up yet.

 
Some dont know the difference but you already summed that up
 
And I go get mine for free at the local golf coarse at 11pm the night before like MM said.

And worms is worms.
 
I happened to get in line behind someone like you once.  Stood their complaining up and down that the crawlers were too small.  I reached around him and dropped the money on the counter and grabbed the bucket from in front of him.  Proceeded to catch fish just fine on the "midget" worms.

I've never used them myself but have seen on TV the Berkley Gulp crawlers being used on harnesses while trolling and they seem to work at least on TV. Much easier to keep, might be an option.
