Anybody know of availability of crickets around South Moon
I never seen so many baitshops that dont sell crickets as around here. I only know of 2 around here that sell them and they are way far out the way for me. Usuallly dip weeds for grass shrimp or buy worms. The dang pet stores dont even carry maggots.
Crickets are cheap online I used to buy them to feed my dragons when I was raising and selling dragons. Don
the store down river at powells campgrounds usually has crickets.we usually by the by the case when we go down to the st johns
I've learned the hard way. I try to keep current bait shop telephone numbers in my phone and give them a call the day before I head out to see how they're stocked. The hardest-to-find bait for me is grass shrimp in the summer and crappie minnows in the winter.
There is a directory, online, of live bait wholesellers. The ones in your part of the state might be helpful in finding retail bait resources in your area. We sold them at our fish camp many years ago and just like worm beds if you are going to be using them often, and have the room, a cricket box isn't that hard to construct. Just need an indoor space, keep the ants away, cardboard egg flats (bedding), dry oatmeal (for feed), and plenty of clean water for them. And a bulk buy should last for a good while.
Ace Hardware store sells them around here so you might check local
