Thread: Nightcrawlers out thick due to rain.

Years ago I planted some regular night crawlers that I caught in Town. Everyone told me they wouldn't live in the ground I got here with all the yellow clay. Well they were wrong now I got crawlers all over my property what they don't like is chemical so when caring for my lawn I only spray for weeds and fertilize in the fall. Now I raise European nightcrawlers, they are a little smaller but provide a readily available supply when I am ready to do some fishing. Now when I pick up some crawlers in the lawn I just put them in the bin with the others and they seem to do well there so far this is the first year I have tried doing that.

Original book is still available form Amazon. Looks like there were updates in 1988 & 2000.

Thanks for the info. I have 2 quarts of em in reused bait dirt/containers in the fridge. I'm going to move them to the bin and give the conditioning a try.

I haven't went yet, but my uncle told me yesterday he caught about 5 or 6 dozen over the weekend.

Wow, they really like that newspaper treatment! Linus, the biggest of em all, is HUGE now. Charlie, the half worm, has healed up real nice too. Lucy, has turned a lighter pink than before; not sure what that means. Anyways, so far, so good!

UH-O now you can't use them, you done went and named them, that makes them pets and you wouldn't want to hurt your pet would you.

Exactly what I was thinking wannabe.

Think I will name mine when I put a hook thru them..."gogetum", "getsome", "attaboy", doyurthingy"

Dang it, the book never said not to name em! Besides, I have the entire Peanuts gang right there in the Styrofoam cooler. They even have a little white grub, named Snoopy.

you in a heap o' trouble now girl!!!
