Thread: Cricket Storage

Somebody brought up a good point. How do you store your crickets while in the boat?

Make fun if ya want....but I keep mine in one of them little wire basket deals that you can get at the bait shops and when in the boat I DO PUT THEM IN THE LIVE WELL!!!!

NO WATER OF COURSE>>>>>BUT I TURN THE LIVE WELL LIGHT ON TO MAKE THEM FEEL NICE AN WARM!

I like the albino ones but they are elusive and hard to keep alive when you can catch them. They are the bait of choice on Reelfoot for some big gills. Me and Jeff had a good laugh in Everhart's last week when a couple guys came in asking for crickets.

Same here, the little wire tubes. You can get them at just about any bait shop or Wal-Mart. Never really used them much till last year on Kentucky Lake. They are absolutely killer for big gills. Plus if they get away in your boat, they will seranade you till they croak

yesterday on the Billy Mays marathon, Billy was shooten crickets outa some bazooka potater shooten gun at a car wind shield at some 100 MPH!!!!!!!!!!

Just Sayin

What did Jeff tell these guys, I know it had to be funny.

We used them alot when I lived in AL. We just kept them in the box the bait store sold them in. Never caught anything but bream on them. Does Everharts even sell them? I'll be going down there in the morning.

The way i see it you can only use crickets when the fish are running in schools of 1 or 2 or 15 or 20 running by thereselves

Not yet HBB. Have you ever tried them on gills on Truman?
