AC, Cricket George is the source for those kinds of baits, he should chime in shortly.
Hmm, never fished with them before
Try any pet store. They usually keep mealworms, waxworms and crickets for reptile food. Don't pass up Catalpa worms if you can get your hands on some
AC - Ok I am back from cool Colorado where mornings were 46 - 53 degs:D and the trout were hitting dry flies.
Let me get to the office and I can tell you where to order them. They are pretty cheap. I am going to say $10.00 for 500 maybe. I will repost tonight if possible.

I hate you. LOL. Not really, think I'm just very jealous, because I missed out on the opportunity to fish in Canada this summer for Walleye and Northern Pike. :) What dry fly patterns were working best for the Trout?Quote:

We were fishing a little headwaters creek called The Colorado River. Ever heard of it???????????:D We were rained out 3 days out of 4:(
One night my daughter came in from walking the dogs and told me that there were hundreds of nightcrawlers on the road. It had been raining for some time. GEEZE LOUISE, She was not kidding. They were mature nightcrawlers and looked almost like baby copperheads:eek:. I could have picked up a couple hundred in a short time but my daughter informed me that I could not put them in the fridge until i returned home. I could have worked over the walleyes at Hefner for quite some time with them.:mad:(
AC- I forgot to check my source of wax/meal worms. I raise red wigglers in an old freezer and use them for bluegills and redears. They are easy to raise. If you want info search the main forum where I posted a thread on how to do it. I will try to remember to check the office and post the company that I have ordered from.
AC , I always bought my wax worms from a place in wisconsin called , JA-DA bait co.
they are online jadabait.net. jumbo waxies are some of the best crappie bait you can buy, good luck.
Also try Wholesale bait co. in hamilton ohio , they have good prices on wax worms spikes and leaches !!!! Walleyes no. 1 bait .
Bigmarv not to rub salt in the wound but I leave 8/19 for 10 days into Ontario Canada for walleye and pike fishing.25 hour drive but still not to far to go fishing.Quote:

Cricket George...the red wigglers you say you raise...if I put them in an old ice chest and drill holes in the top to vent and keep in my garage would they handle that ok? I dont think my wife would want them in the house, and we have limit space in the garage for a frig.....I have a deep freeze but frozen worms not a good think..LOL
If they could handle bein in the garage where could I get some locally? I'm up here in Nowata. We just had a new bait shop open up on Sat but been there yet....
Thanks,
AC
Are you sure your not rubbing in just a little bit of salt. LOL. :)Quote:

AC - Sure the old ice chest will work fine in the garage. Purchase some peat moss,a bag of cow manure or better yet pick up some dried chips from a local pasture and some soil. I started with a third of each blended. Now soak the blend with pond/lake/creek/ well water.Non chlorinated city water is the key.
You can order some by googling red wigglers or if you come to OKC some time I will give you a start. You can feed the red wigglers fruit and vegetable matter from the kitchen which is what I do or use corn meal. Red wigglers are the top choice for composting so you are killing two birds will one stone. I raise them in an old non working 15 cu. ft. freezer kept outdoors in a covered shed. Nothing special. Red wigglers really love watermelon,cantalope, peaches etc. High sugar fruit. I do not feed them any protein such as meat or any leftovers. Hope this helps. If the ice chest is kept at 70 + degs the worms will reproduce 12 months a year. If you stock the chest with 250 then after 1 year you may have more worms than you will know what to do with. Great bream bait and great for trout too.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if they are Red Wigglers, but I have big worms living under the mulch pile that I built for my veggie garden and they are really HUGE and very lively. :)
Those are probably local nightcrawlers not red wigglers
Well I'm going to put some of them in my Nightcrawler box this Fall and drift fish them down the river and see if any Walleyes or Catfish will hit them. :)
Walleye,cats,bass,sandies etc. will knock the dickens out of them drifting them down the river.
What are the type of worms that walmart sales as trout/panfish worms? I've them but was sure what type of worm they really are? Also Cricket George if I get river worms orjust local worms from this area will they also survive and reproduce in a cooler?
Nabatac in Claremore,Ok. got me some once.
AC - I do not know if the local worms or river worms will reproduce in the cooler. I have no experience with them. My experience is just with red wigglers.
Ok I may try the the river worm(I learned the term just the other day) or local worms in a cooler...but also talkin to a guy in Bartlesville that has a worm farm for his business of selling compost soil and other garden type stuff and he has the red wigglers so he may be hookin me up if now I will try in Claremore next.
Thanks,
AC
Ok maybe rubbing a little This will be my first trip to Canada and we will be at Chapleau Resort in Ontario on Borden Lake.Quote:
