Nightcrawlers Anyone?

[armyman]

Just counted 38 nightcrawlers on my carport & patio ranging from 6-10 in. Thinking about "capturing" them in case crappie bite goes South. Happens every time we get this much rain. I know somebody else has 'em too!

I've caught every species of fish there is on a crawler, or part of one.

Man yeah we got them, and they are, in my opinion, the best bream bait ever. Just one of them puppies is enough to catch a box full of bream. Makes it mighty easy to carry bait when you only have to bring a couple worms.

Tip a jig with pieces of them.

Never tried that, cray. Might be time to try it this weekend since I never fished Nader before. Will need all the help I can get!

See'em every time it rains here

Go to bass pro when they feed the fish and watch how many worms get gobbled up by crappie.

Don't know what your calling Nightcrawlers round these parts,,,, all we have in memphis are these large snake like creatures that resemble a worm,,,,Not Nightcrawlers though,,, they only grow up north in cooler weather

They have bigger deer up north also. We talkin SOUTHERN night crawlers here tho.

Any worm that crawls at night is by definition a Night Crawler.

Those northern nightcrawlers have a flat tail. The southern nightcrawlers have a round tail.
At Cossar tuesday morning we had both crawling everywhere. I guess containers were dumped out after a fishing trip by others in the past.
We picked a good many. Some were over a foot long.
