Title: Anyone get any crawlers yet
Post by: UofLcards on Mar 24, 2024, 03:30 PM
I went out a couple times before the cold and snow this past week - there were a few out but they were real hole huggers, and there wasn't enough to make it worth my while .....

Nice - I got my box ready to go and everything before hand too.  Figures - normally I go out to see if there are any, pick a mess of them - THEN have to get my box ready - I jinxed myself......LOL

When we owned the Barcelona Market, we ordered worms from Weekly wholesale bait. 7 flats every week. We sold a lot of worms, especially during the Southtowns tournament. Could not keep Hi tech worm harnesses in stock either. Dave would come by every week during the summer.

Yes, we only ever bought crawlers, but they were always very healthy and lively.  We always took them out of the bedding after they arrived to sort out weak or dead crawlers as recommended on their website.  But I’ll be honest, I don’t remember ever culling out any.

I saw where they had been out last night.  With the wet weather coming there should be lots available this week  I'll get a few

And….they'll be extra potent crawlers…..full of eclipse energy. Probably have to chase them down.

I knew there was a reason I don't like worms.

Earthquake AND pre-eclipse is a bad combo .....I had one yesterday that pulled me into its hole all the way up the elbow - finally had to let go .....and that was just a trout worm .....won't touch a crawler for at least another week.....
