Waxworms, Bemoths, Grubs....

I can't stand it anymore....I need to go fishing...where in northern Johnson County or Southern Marion County can a guy buy some of the aforementioned bait?

Don't care if it's just the retention ponds around here....

Have you tried the Outdoorsman shop on SR 135 south of Smith Valley Road?

Find a homeless guy and pick bedbugs and lice. Small baits for this time of year.

I usually carry a shovel before I go fishing.

Put these on a tiny jig, under a float or tight lined.

Available at most any decent sporting goods store...

There were nightcrawlers out here last rain without overnight feezes.

Local gas stations don't carry Walt's in the winter for some reason....we don't get enough ice usually for much ice fishing.

Nope but it is on the way home....will swing by Honey Creek too.

Those things work. Was fishing with my nephew and we did an informal, one time "test", while panfishing. I used live bee moths, and he used the PB. He got more bites than I did.

Gulp minnows, 1” long, smelt color...catch panfish all day long either floated under a bobber or finessed on the bottom with a 1/64oz jighead.

2.5” smelt Gulp! Minnows on a 1/16oz jighead will get you larger bluegill, crappie, and bass.

The price of behemoth in the small container is extremely high. If you buy the large tub, they don’t last long enough to get them used up.
Several years ago, I discovered that if they are kept covered in a closed container of vodka, they will last for a long time. I have kept them from one year to the next and still had good results.
I sorted the worms from the saw dust and placed them in a prescription pill bottle till it was about full then filled it withe vodka until all worms are covered. If any are exposed to air they will not be any good at all so, make sure all the air is out between the worms and they are covered at the top.
Easy to store in this manner and much cleaner. No sawdust everywhere and the container easily fits in a pocket or tackle box.
Almost seems strange to fish with a behemoth that is over a year old.

Okay so this is just a little backwards...right?

In your method you use the worms then drink the alcohol.
We always drank the alcohol then ate the worm.....

Not sure I could do it your way....you are one BAD S.O.B.!
