WOW! You never know what you'll catch with those. Hope you're having fun!
OK, I've lived in Illinois for almost 80 years and have NO idea what the hell those critters are. What are they?Quote:

good guess.
Looks like it. They'll catch Everything from 'gills to crappie to cats.
Excellent bait for the Junk Yard. Good luck and don't forget the pics.
How big are they, and how do you fish 'em?Quote:

Fish them like you would a worm or minnow, same for rigging. I've used them on jugs and trot lines also.
Never tried freezing them.
If I remember correctly, they get upwards of 4-5" long.

Thanks. Looked them up on Google. It says they work just as well if they are frozen, cause you have to hook them with the innards facing out, because that is what draws the fish to them. Also, that they are a super catfish bait. Does anybody sell them alive in Illinois?
Sorry Illinois is currently closed due to poor management. Huge overhead and pork projects. Can't wait to move out of this state
You're sure right about that, but there's gotta be somebody out there selling catalpa worms! I kinds doubt that Illinois even sells a license to sell catalpa worms! Don't tell 'em!!Quote:

I admire your logic. And you might be right! But if nobody SELLS 'em (according to all the non-answers on C.c) then the still-lifes in Springfield can't tax 'em!Quote:
