Are the crawlers people catch in their backyards really better than baitshop ?

Ice.... cheez, whats a guy to do? First we are told that butter is no good for us, " Kill ya deader then a door nail by the time your 40! Eat the oleo!" Now that theory isn't so carved in stone!

Then we are told that Cough medicines don't work..after all this time! All the money I spent on NyQuil for us and our kids...I could have boiled them an egg and got the same results!

Then we'er told that a drink or two of wine in the evening were helping our hearts...now that has been proven false! A drink or two of wino will get you a DUI thats about it!

"Social Security will always be there!" They just didn't say how much of it would be there!

Among all the sunken norms, we have come to the lowly earthworm! Were were told they were natures recyclers, aerating the soil and keeping the ground healthy with their little mounds.

Now we find out that in reality, the worm is a subversive in all it's many forms! A sneak and a defiler of the forest floor! Yikes, whats a guy supposed to believe and for how long is he supposed to believe it?

I think a whole herd of worms would certainly have to get up on the good foot and do some serious eating to do any noticable damage?

We've got worms all over our yard, our grass is green, they havn't eaten any of our trees and they (Contact US Regarding This Word) sure don't help us in the fall, by eatin up all the leaves! We still have to rake!

tdk, wouldn't the crawlers stink to high heaven with sour milk after a year? Or do you replace the bedding regularly? I have heard of lots of crawler feed, but never sour milk. It sounds good to me, I'm going to have to try it.

I like to pick my own not only to save some cash,but I get longer fatter and fresher crawlers than you can buy in the store.Only problem with the real long ones is you need a 6 hook crawler harness to get the whole worm on hooks or they just bite you off.

What do you guys feed your worms? I have a farm and picked some last year but I don't know what to give them.
