Bought a bag of bloodworms to supplement my bait offerings. Holy Crap!
$9.95. More expensive than the artificial bloodworms. Yikes!
Global Warming...
That's cheap.
Last live ones I bought were like $15 for 10.
Sounds like it would make sense to grow your own in a compost bin.
I wish I could, but they are a tidal flats worm.

eeeew,

I don't think we have those in this neck of the woods. No loss. A worm
with a poison/copper bite? Ah, no thanks.
They get cut into half inch pieces, put on a hook and used for croaker,
spot, and perch. Some will use the whole worm and try to get stripers, but
usually they waste a worm that costs almost a buck.

They do well catching the bottom fish though!

They are messy, foul little beasties, though. Up north, we had much
better segmented worms we called sandworms.

Harry, the other day you said you'd bought bloodworms, and earlier you'd
mentioned using the artificial worms (Fishbites ?). Now the question - Did
you notice any difference? Which did better?


This past weekend, the real deal worked better, though I got one hell of
a bite from a whole artificial worm I put on the hook for "one last
cast" before heading in to the marina. I think it was a "bigger blue,"
because blues were the fish I was catching. It bit off most of the worm
and then left for the fishy titty bar.
