[laugh]Me what I do is simple. When at Willard Bay I just take my old nightcrawlers and then toss them off my boat. Then I let the catfish eat them. They gulp the worms down, then I take my newer fresh nightcrawlers and then catch the same catfish that eat the old nightcrawlers, then I gut the catfish and take the nightcrawler that they just ate and then reuse it. Otherwise the nightcrawler just gets old and smelly. But while in the catfishes stomach it somehow stays fresh. Don't ask me why, but it works for me.[laugh]
OK OK I know your laughing so loud your neighbors can hear you.
I have actually learned the hard way. I have caught lots of crawlers around my apartment complex. And man they get stinky when I take them to Willard. Trout fishing is no problem for me though cause there is always shade along the rivers.
But at Willard I'm now taking an ice cooler; a foam one of course that I can take on my inflatable boat.
I've had it with loosing all of my worms. And the smell.[pirate]
Also if I had any common sense you can go to Sportsmans Warehouse and get worm bedding. Its better than the "top soil" stuff you get at Wallmart or Kmart.
But really just a good-sized foam cooler with enough ice. I would say like 3 bags in a foam cooler would do.
Its always a good idea to put a cap or a lid on your crawlers too!
Like I said I have learned the hard way, always putting my worms under shade on my boat just to learn that th 'ol sun gets the worms all smelly. Worm bedding should help, try not to use mud—like I have on my last few trips.[crazy]
