hoosieratc Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 My dad is in the Espanola area this week for a fishing trip. He called this morning and said the local bait stores are charging anywhere from $3-$4 for a dozen of worms. Has anyone else seen an increase in prices like this?

Whitespinnerbait Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 That's cheap....there $5.00 or more in the Ottawa area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yeah, they're about $5 here too. I rarely buy them although I did buy some last week. If I mow the lawn before a good rain, I can go out late that night and pick enough for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Haven't needed a live worm in years. It is easy enough to pick your own if you don't like the price. For others $5 for a day's bait is not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I used to have a big worm box (18"X18"X36") that I would load up every spring by picking on the local baseball fields. Never had to buy worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Farmer Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Buy yourself Chomper Worms. No need for real anymore. That's what I use now. They work great, the only thing they chase your buddy's out of the boat with their smell. Chompers - by TableRock Bait & Tackle Company Their site is down right now.

capt_hooked Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Fish digest worms better than plastic. $2.65/doz here plus $.35 to the government. Wonder how much the pickers make these days? the capt.. Edited May 26, 2012 by capt_hooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I don't mind paying up to 5.00 for a doz. If I didn't like it, I'd pick my own. Plus Its still cheaper and more edible than a mcdonalds combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Was at the fish market the other day. Asked the girl how much for crabs. She said they were going for 12.95 per Lb. I reached out and grabbed her hand and said "Shake hands with a Millionaire" Edited May 26, 2012 by mercman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernpike56 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 where I live (burlington), worms are about $3-3.50/dozen. I will buy them when I'm in a hurry or don't have any left over from previous trips, but when I have a few minutes to kill I will go and flood a small portion of my backyard with the garden hose. The usual 'haul' is around 2-3 doz., but sometimes I get 5-6. I tend to find that the 'wild' worms are more fat and lively as well, and the trout seem to like them more.

mike rousseau Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I only use worms for spring bullhead catfish season...they're around 4.50 for 18 here.... And you get a lot of bullhead with 18 worms... So I don't mind paying... Other then that worms have been replaced by gulp products for me...

Handlebarz Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Mike I'm with you I have not used worms in years until last weekend when the wife was up 3-0 on worms I switched up and came back for a 5-4 lead lol. I just picked 65 worms last night in about 1 hour were ready for tge next trip. I will still use gulp but on the days like last week real meat is a must.

scugpg Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm interested to try gulp worms especially when you roll though a school of pannies when targeting walleye should save re baiting quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
