Pennsylvania Fishing

A few days ago, on The Stage, a post showed a person that pumped air into a bloodworm while saltwater fishing to get it to float off the bottom, a nice striped bass picture was shown as being caught. So, I tried the same today using night crawlers at a freshwater lake in PA., at a deeper part of the lake, in 42 feet of water. I dropped night crawlers onto the bottom using a fish finder rig. To my surprise I did catch fish “one after another”, they were channel catfish with the longest being 19 inches. It does catch fish!

Nice job DV. It works for all types of bottom fishing, keeps the bait above the weeds /debris on the bottom. Thanks for the pictures.

It certainly works, been doing it for almost 50 years. Lindy makes a worm blower for night crawlers.

Insulin syringe works really well.
Need to be careful with them.
Could get hit with carrying a drug needle 👍

I carried one in my tackle box for awhile. Even cut the needle short.
My last pup needed shots.
Then figured all it would take one hard-nosed game warden or a cop that may pull me over.
I actually used it for pu some air pockets in plastics 👍👍

Can you actually put air pockets in plastic baits like you said Grizzly?

I don't understand your answer Grizzly my question is can you inject an air bubble in a soft plastic worm as you said🙂🇺🇸

Yes but you need to very careful.
It won't expand very much.
I found it not to be worth the trouble honestly.
I've tried many of the YouTube videos.
Some work some not so much
