Worm Pricing

[ricardo]

I've caught 2 dozen worms this way the day before I went fishing and the worms still lasted me all day. After putting them in the fridge over night tho

[Christopheraaron]

Maybe I'll do this more often then!

Be careful doing this in a neighborhood if you treat to large of an area the neighbors will call the police from all of the screaming noise the worms make from the soap burns....

Can't say what Malcolm would charge now but in June a flat was $30.00. Did anyone call?

With this drought, could be more?

Don't want to hijack this thread but does anyone have tips on catching bloodworms and sandworms out east, I want to try them for striped bass and pollock. I have a very large sand/mud flat in front of the cottage. I also want to try trapping eels, for the same purpose.

I usually stop at Billy Bob's bait in North Bay on my way up so I don't have to worry about melting them during the trip. He has flats for $45 and the size and quality of the worms is second to none. Crappy worms really P me off especially when you buy a whole flat. He is only about 300 yards west of Hwy 11 on Lakeshore Road. I am going up next week so I just called to confirm and he has lots.

I stopped by there the other day and he was charging $35. Still a solid price for sure. I'm picking up 2 flats at end of the month.

If you have any walnut trees or access to, here is a great option for harvesting your own.

That's really cool, and I know where there are walnut trees nearby!

I have two places in Toronto 30 cash for 500 worms

 

Care to share where they may be?

Black market?

I wonder if the walnut method ruins the ground in any way? Will it kill the grass if you were to do it on that?

[Christopheraaron]

Just incase maybe don't pour it on the middle of your front lawn.

Yea, go to the golf course and try it on the 18th green. I don't think anybody would mind.

Just confirming what Hooked mentioned, I got a hold of Malcolm by phone and price is currently $35.00 per flat of 500 but prices could change by the time I need them in 3 weeks.

Grass seems to be not affected but there is some herbicide properties to it , very little else like other species seedlings will sprout under a walnut tree cause of chemicals that wash off of them.

Throwing this out there for anybody heading to Apsley or Bancroft...

 

The new tackle store in Bobcaygeon has a sign for worms $1.90 a dozen...

 

Just east of the four-way stop signs at the north end of town on the north side of Hwy 36...

Ok Paul, given this info your in the garage Friday night at my place

[Christopheraaron]

Hey, just realized how lucky we are, striped bass fishing out here is mostly bait fishing, and so far I have yet to find more than 1 bait store, and that one doesn't even sell worms!
