I'm really lucky to have a creek behind me (literally 75m from my back door) and a river 90 seconds drive.
Opener was busy this year I'm not use to seeing many people there. I still managed to keep a good distance from everyone and get into some fish.
I picked up a bar fridge yesterday for $20. I am hoping to stock up before the marina on Nipissing opens up at the end of May. I will be out tonight picking. When I was young I used to bend over while picking worms, now I am on all fours with a head light. My back isn't what it used to be.
I've never seen so many huge dew worms. Every clump of sod I was moving back to where it belonged on Monday, from that careless snow plow guy, had dozens and dozens in every clump.
Some comfort food
This morning when I awoke,it was raining and damp ,a drury day today. I thought some nice warm comfort food was in order.
Baked some bread bowls and made some home made cream of mushroom and broccoli soup to pour into the bread bowl.
I made small fortune selling dew worms. Dad thought it was crazy Idea we lived on HWy 2 west of Whitby. Started out at 1 cent a worm then up price to 2 cents, I got nice french fry box for worms.
Most where repeat customers if I wasn't home they got there Worms and left money in door I'd have $5- 10 some days. 1967 my dad was driving truck for $95 a week. Bought my parents a frig and later a stand up freezer. Think everybody in family had it at some time.
Funny, I go to get the mail from the site box and the kids down at the 4 way stop have a table and cooler out at the end of their laneway with a giant WORMS sign on it !
Excellent video. The single hook makes a big difference for snagging. That water looked ideal for using a Rebel Crick Hopper or Big Ant lure as well. Same technique but with a small wiggling lure. I use them always for Steelies but I replace the 2 tiny treble hooks with one (rear) treble hook and in deeper pools I put a bit of BB weight about 2 feet up the line to get it down into the pool while not impeading the action. The steelies get pissed off and really nail it hard.
