Handheld VHF Range/Bloodworm Prices
 

Good conditions today for my first "on-water" trial of my new little
handheld VHF. From a spot two miles out from the shoreline, I raised
someone on the other side of the Bay Bridge (about 15 miles, easily),
and several boaters nine and 10 miles away down the Bay.

Bought a bag of bloodworms to supplement my bait offerings. Holy Crap!
$9.95. More expensive than the artificial bloodworms. Yikes!

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.

I've fished both and in my opinion, bloodworms will out fish sandworms
everytime.

But...

During a sandworm worm hatch, striper heaven.
