smerchly Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 And run off which I think we need to trigger fish to run up the creeks . It may get the big cats on the move too. I previously said I have used frozen shrimp for channel cats at the 12 Mile Creek , but after watching a video how we get the shrimp to our tables I have seconds thoughts . The video was taken in India , and we are so fortunate we don't have slave labour here. So I'll try the 'old days' way using big fat dew worms , ect. for cats as we have done at the Grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Seen lots of worms out last night walking my dog. I’ve been drowning some over the last week but only a couple suckers and the rain can piss off anytime now. smerchly and NiagaraRiverFisher 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the Merrytimes have it , they are used to it . Too cold for worms tonight but nicer days ahead starting Tuesday . I built some lattice panels for my 50' wood fence & waiting to install them when the water is gone . I "had" about 20 worms in a foam box in my garage . The lid was slightly open and 15 of them are roaming the garage floor "somewhere" ! .....rip.... Tyler0420 and Fish Farmer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in a small foam box that are sold in bait shops , Avondale ,ect. This was the '2 doz.' size box , one of many I brought home from shore fishing spots . They are kept cold in my unheated garage or in the mini fridge when needed. There will be plenty on the grass in a couple more days. ....One that was tossed in my garbage (with the butts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like supporting the small guys even though I could pick my own in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 Good price ,hardly worth breaking the back for a couple doz. I was buying worms at Deseronto for $5 for 24 worms .....no tax . I avoid taxes whenever I can. I use a head light with a red lens and wear knee pads if I wanted to pick 10 dozen when fishing Quinte for a month when we had the trailer. You could buy your gas , worms and weed there tax free ,and if the fish had lockjaw ,a pound of eye fillets was cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markster Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 If a guy wanted to pick a bunch off his lawn to keep around, say a 5-6 dozen, how would you keep them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 We didn't have room in our fridge to keep worms so I bought some worm bedding at Can.Tire and filled a large foam box (about 16" x 12" & wet it with rain water (not too wet). I used large ice packs to keep them cold and changed them every 12 hours . The box was kept under the trailer (no sun) with a heavy weight on the top (coons or skunks) Or set the foam box inside a plastic cooler or wooden box . I have also used moss and dirt with a few ice cubes periodically . There is lots of info on line how to keep worms healthy . Try to keep the fridge at 5-10 degrees . Happy pickin I like this Google info ...... https://www.canadiannightcrawlers.com/tips-tricks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep them in the fridge but make sure not to tip them over. My gf didn’t like them crawling around the fridge. heat/sun are their worst enemy.
