New guy / Western UP

Howdy . . .

Registered here long ago, but haven't been on for years.

I live in Bessemer and go after just about anything outdoors. I'm a lot better with a shotgun than a fishing rod, but I fish a fair amount . . . just not successfully!

One of the regulars here took me out fishin last weekend and it was a blast so I decided check in here again.

Got a question for the perch masters . . . how long can a guy expect wigglers to last? Any tips? I was thinking about going again this weekend, so I tried to save the leftovers from last weekend. No luck. And no, I didn't put em in city water!

Thanks,

NR

Welcome back to FM Nick. This is Greg. If you keep them in the fridge they should last about 2 weeks max, if they were fresh which they were not. NEVER change the water, they will die in a day or 2. I am heading out to Arizona in the morning or I would be joining you. I will give you a call when we get back. By the way nice article and good luck tomorrow...

What's going on w/these Bessemer people? Hahaha. I too am a proud graduate of that fine institute of higher learning. '93..

Greg's on crack... I can keep wigglers alive for atleast a week after I use em. I DO change the water regularly but the key thing for me is that I have well water. City water, well, I doubt that'd help at all. Long and short, I find I can keep them longer by changing the water.

I didn't get out last weekend. Fished eyes last night out by the Hoop and didn't even get a nibble. Oh well, cooked cheddarwursts, learned to play cribbage. Not bad.

Greg - I got Cecilia's pix back from Andy.

Later,
