e-z-out

they look great can't wait to read the report on how they did in the water. Good luck

i have tried the spray and it seems to work but you have to keep adding spray every time you pull it out of the water. I would go with the Gulp Alive minnows in the bucket just dip and your ready to go. They last longer for me this way

Oak Bay Resort Buckhorn Yacht Harbour

Yes what Nemo said i always have them on no matter what.

Have fun Mike remember all the tips you got from the guys put them to use

Poor kid thats all i can say i feel sick knowing people like this are out there and who knows whos next.

I love them so good.

Welcome GaryJ to OFC If you ever need a fishing partner on Lower Buckhorn let me know

I got this from another site hope it helps Jim Ame's Worm Beds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Orignal post made by Jim Ames(Oh No) on April 10, 2005 Your best bet to keep crawlers is in wooden boxes that can drain. Styrofoam/old coolers I've tryed them all. We take 7-9 thousand crawlers to KY lake every year camping. Once it gets warm it's hard to keep them cool in plastic. We used to pack about 1000 to a cooler and a lot of times would lose 3 or 4 coolers on a trip. That's a waste of good money and crawlers. Night crawlers like a cool soil. The only way to do this is threw evaporation of water. Wooden boxes help this as they breath. I also have two black plastic barrels, cut about 2 foot high. I took my cordless drill and drilled thousands of 1/8" or smaller holes in these 55 gallon barrel cut offs. Then with a good dirt mix and old wet newspapers over the dirt, one can keep them alive in 90/100 degree weather. Keeping them in the shade of course. The dirt we use is a mix of that baged dirt wally world has in the garden center. Ground peat or topsoil mix with out any fertilisers. We tear newspapers in strips and mix it in. Also when you cover the mix with wet newspapers, it is a snap to pick a bunch for the boat. as they gather under the wet papers. In the boat we use those bait canteens that you can dunk in the water and they get real cool for the crawlers. The bad thing with those metal framed canteens is they only last about a season, they kinda rot out after a year. My nephews have some wooden boxes this year that are about 18" square and 4' long. They look like little coffins and will probably take two men and a boy to load, when they are full of dirt. I used to have about a dozen old coolers that I picked up at auctions for a couple bucks apiece. We drilled lots of holes in the top. Now they are hitting the burning barrel as they work some but not as well as wooden boxes. I have used old wooden ammo boxes and they work great also. I don't know where you live, but when we go to TN it gets warm down there sometimes. And worms don't like heat. And we don't have electric, so we try to work with nature. Also DO NOT PUT ANY MANURE OR ANYTHING THAT CAN HEAT UP IN YOUR DIRT MIX. Once it gets started heating that coolers done. I mean grass clippings too, as when it trys to decompose it produces heat and there goes another batch of crawlers, --- cooked. If you start to lose a batch from heat/dieing , take all the live ones out by dumping container on the ground, and rinse the live ones with cold water. Then put them in another container of new dirt, When crawlers start to die in a container, there is something wrong with the dirt. Got to rinse off whats left alive and change dirt. Sometimes when you pick your own crawlers you might have a few that are not whole and die, Just pick them out and throw away. When crawlers start to die off in any magor amount in a container, the dead crawlers themselves create heat as they rot. Thats why you have to rinse all the ones left alive off with cold water and get them into new dirt. Something else - kinda off topic. When catching crawlers at night, it is not the light that they run from, it is the heat created by the light. Heat and Vibration are what they feel. Walk softly!!!! Crawlers have no eyes and cannot tell if they are in the light or the dark. They are super sensitive to heat and vibration. The heat from a flashlight bulb, they can feel 5-10 feet away. The vibration of grandkids bouncing around can ruin a crawler hunting trip. That's why the crawlers just outside of the main circle of light can be caught easier. My nephews and I take toilet paper and put it over the flashlight to help filter out heat. They have come out with these LED flashlights, and I want to try one for hunting crawlers, as they do not produce much heat. Thats why they claim they are real easy on batteries. They use less juice so less heat is produced. My wife got me one that has a crank - no batteries - and just 3 LEDs. it will run with one or 3 lit. She picked it up at an Amish Hardware store, Also in the rain, they are easier to pick up, as they are partying and having there crawler orgies. lol They have there little minds on other things. lol And the rain hitting the ground helps mask the noise/vibration from you walking around. Wet ground/mud hides your sneaking around. Dole if the dirt is right and the temps are right, you won't have any die, except the half crawlers. They gather like gangbusters under the wet newspapers that you have on the top of the containers. So there is little or no reason to dig in the dirt and try to injure your crawlers collecting some for the boat. I hope this helps, as crawlers are a naturel bait, I've killed/slaughtered catfish at night on jugs. You have to fish crawlers at night for cats. 3-4 on a hook waving at the cats, just hooked threw the center so they can wave away. Just as natural as a crawler falling in the water. I hope this helps. Jim

Now whos going to go and buy one and tell us all about it

Thanks guys i guess i should try them out myself and see if they really do work. I guess i'll be hitting up BPS later today and give them a test. Thanks again for the info guys

32 he was so young just started living sorry to hear about your friend i know it's a bad way to start a holiday

sounds like a fun week man have fun and can't wait to see the report when you get back. Good luck L angler

Just wanted to know if anyone has ever used them? Do they really work and how easy are they to fish with? I've seen them on TV all the time just wanted some feed back from some of the OFC community.

Welcome to OFC Mark Mc great intro hope to see more reports

with or with out the boat lol

Congrats on the up coming wedding i wish i could have taken my rod to the wedding for some nite time fishing

Thats sad to hear Terry myslef i've never been there but i keep hearing great reports from friends and family that have been there.

Here are the pics of the truck and trailer and shop after.

Garry to fix that problem on your truck they do sell a bigger brake kit for under 600. Thats the lines that i'm going when it comes to my SUV stock brakes don't cut it when it comes to towing the boat.

The way i see it if i can take it out then i can fix it but if it gets to be to much for myself to handle i take it in to the shop. I've always had imports and just last month got my first GMC SUV and so far so good only thing is new brakes but thats with all cars. The best thing to do befor buying a car or truck is to read up on the car or truck and find out any problems they might have or recalls they might have. I know with knew cars and trucks we are the ones testing them out on everyday driving. With time everything brakes down but i understand on a 4 year old truck things should not be falling apart.

Man that sucks big time a bloody fuse and they charged you 500 all i have to say to that is next time that happens check yourself befor calling the dealership they robb you with a smile.

Mister Transmission Mississauga (905) 629-2221 2191 Dundas St. East (Just West of 427) Mississauga Used them befor and they did a great job on my F150 still on the road with a new owner
