Wish I had pix, but we were having too much fun. Before dropping the kiddos off this morning, No. 1 son grabbed a bucket and his 3.5-year-old enthusiasm to pick as many night crawlers as he could. We wound up with about $50 worth, which I'd like to keep at length. Right now they're in some dirt in an insulated bucket in the garage (it's supposed to stay cool today) but I know this isn't a long-term storage plan.
So does anyone pick and keep crawlers for weeks at a time? If so, how do you do it? I know cool and moist are pretty important. But we've never had much luck beyond a week or so. They always croak and stink up the fridge -- which is why mama gets so anxious when it rains in the spring
I want to keep adding to the pile as I've heard certain wall-eyed fish enjoy night crawlers at some point in in the summer. Although where and when I'm not sure, but at least I'll be able to save some $$$ in bait if we can keep them fat and sassy for awhile.
