Thread: European Night Crawlers

the ones I fish for hit only american made baits. American worms American crickets

I know if you take one off the street from in front of a PUB or BEER TENT and throw them in a river they yell an splash around a lot....

I know yall are poking fun at this, but I thought I've read that either the gills, crackers prefer the small red wigglers over the night crawlers. I was just trying to check that info. out. Sorry about a stupid question....

Gills will eat almost anything they can fit in their mouths.

Having said that, I never use worms for them. Much prefer small grubs: maggots, wax worms and mealworms.

The only stupid question is the one no ask as to your question gills will eat both worms crackers tend to like nightcrawlers more

My grand mother always out a "MEAT MARKET" night crawler on her gold eagle claw long shank size 10 hook .tied on to 30 lb.test braid under a bobber , using a 12Ft cane pole. Her thoughts were, "If something big swims along and see's the little ones tearing into it they might want a bite. She was happy with a 1" Blue Gill or a 3Ft. carp.

We use them in So Cal for Coppernose @ Lake Perris (smaller worms) and Redear & Bluegill @ Lake Havasu (large worms - they can get big). Easy to keep in the heat (while fishing) and at home....
