|
|
Well, I never condisered earthworms a saltwater bait until capt Mike S. has been using them with good success in the salt. I even went and bought a box at academy but here is a better solution.
The worm lady, Rene Fuqua, is a organic gardner and she raises worms to make plant food. She also has thousands of worms. She lives in Austin Tx. I talked to her about selling to fisherpeople not just gardners. She said she never thought of that. She said I could post her website here in case someone wants a lot of worms or would like to buy a selfperpetutaing worm box for 40 dollars. She sells 1 pound of earthworms (weighed without dirt) for 30 dollars but for $40.00 she will send you 1 pound of earthworms and one of her wormboxes with all the directions to keep it going. She has a saying "if you call me before you kill them i will guarntee them." Besides garden veggie scraps the main thing she feeds them is newspaper. Seems that is one of their favorite foods.
So if your thinking of geting wormy, I know I am after hearing Capt Mike,
Here is her website.

Hurry before PETEW gets wind of it.
I rescued some from my sidewalk yesterday, guess the rain confused them.
No, it was not Pomps or croakers. |

To stay ahead of the seasonal bait patterns, better ask her if she raises piggies.  _________________

| this makes me sick. This is exactly why there is no more golden earthworn run like the old days. I can't remember the last time I even saw a worm over 7" long. |

I agree. When I was a kid you could catch em all day long during the run. Now I'm lucky get one big enough to use as bait.  _________________ "Ya'll must eat a lot of fish" |

Heard a local warden say that hawgs have caused the decline in those big goldens. _________________ E Pluribus Unum |
