What kinda creepy crawlers are these. Wonder if they would make good bait. What kinda fish would eat these. Any good methods for using them. Have you ever caught any fish on them. Got any pictures. Unscramble this fish for dinner. NUDEROLF.

I used mealworms for bait while bream fishing as a young man. They also make good food for pet lizards.

They would be mealworm larva, Mike. I guess they are good for panfish, I have never tried to use them for fishing but I did raise them to feed my bluebirds. They loved them and the bluebirds loved me. I started out raising them by buying 5000 of them over the Internet. Put them in a plastic tub so they couldn't climb out of it, filled the tub about with about 6" of bran, and then fed them chick started. I raised them for many years and I never had to replace any of them and I always had plenty of mealies. The larva morphs into a beetle and the female beetle will lay many eggs and dies after a few months. The life cycle will take about a year. I kept them in a heated garage in the Winter and they required very little care. I had about 4 different feeding stations around the yard and the bluebirds would flock around me when I fed them and I would feed them twice a day. It was cool! I counted 54 bluebirds sitting on the high line at one time.

Good story Fly. I would love to have seen that. The closest I have ever been to a similar situation was 18 hummingbirds at a feeder.

Mealworms and bluegills love them. They last well on a hook, below a bobber.
They already nailed the flounder.

Ya know, Wulffy, I have found that bluebirds are really hard for me to understand. In 2004 we bought a "cornfield" and put a house on it. No trees in the yard but the yard was surrounded by woods. We had moved from across the road where we lived in the woods. Big trees and little bluebirds do not get along. They like an open area with short grass close to big trees. After the baby bluebirds fledge, the parents will put them in a big tree and continue to feed them for a week to ten days while the parents prepare another new nest for the next brood. I had nine different bluebird houses around the yard.. The fledged bluebirds will come back and help the parents raise the new brood until they fledge. Here in SE MN, depending on when the bluebirds come back in the Spring, usually the first week in March. They do not Winter here but they do not go to very far South. If the bluebirds get an early start in the Spring they will have three broods. They are very busy little birds, and very fun to watch. However, The trees that I planted in 2004, many of them, grew up and my wife tamed a feral cat and the bluebirds left. Occasionally, we will see one but not very often. My wife's cat is another story. It kills full-grown pheasants, quail, rabbits, chippies, ground squirrels and my bluebirds. She chases the neighbor's dogs out of our yard, but she will jump up on your lap and you have to give her a 100 strokes a day.

Just speaking for myself, I would trade the cat for the birds anytime!!

I agree cats kill anything just for the sport of killing they don't even eat their prey

Meal worms Mike, around here trout guys love them. I on the other hand love FLOUNDER!

Oh, I would too, but she keeps all of the critters in check around here. I had a problem with voles girdling the juniper bushes, she came into the picture and no more voles. No mice, rats, chippies, ground squirrels, moles, rabbits, and definitely fewer birds. Yes, she does kill for the fun of it. Maybe she is practicing.

If you don't like cats, get a rat terrier. Varmints beware, and they are not birddogs, could care less. Not a good choice if you have weasels around - ratties are fearless and will fight to the death, and a weasel is a formidable opponent.

Mealworms great bait for yellow perch and bluegills. Granddad used em ice fishing.
