Same presentation as the 11/3 post. No red worms, just crickets

Winterized my motor Sunday.
Nice fish!

nice mess! good job! wonder how those crickets like that 27 fow. lol

Hey Tim trout harvest is over. 140 trout in the freezer shrink wrapped and labeled by species, length, and weight ready for sale. I think I've got at least 75 still swimming in the pond. Will be hatching in my basement again in a few weeks.

Very nice healthy fish. Reminds me of gills from Clear Lake east of Fremont.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh great, then I would have one more thing to haul out on the ice.... A heated Cricket house!!

Thundermist lure YouTube channel had a video with fishing crickets and worms side by side, the crickets didn’t perform very well. The worms at least resemble seasonal forage.

I know you can buy crickets online and I sure would like to buy some 1/2 inch crickets for ice fishing and try them out. I can't believe they wouldn't catch fish.

Unless you need bulk amounts, shipping cost will far outweigh a trip to a pet store.
