Reply With QuoteI just transplanted my first four catalpa seedlings about a month ago. There's gonna' be a long wait for worms, though...they're only 18 inches tall now.

I Got Worms (Catalpa)
A couple of years ago I set out some catalpha seedlings hoping to grow some trees and raise some worms. Last year due to the severe drought they were kinda stressed but managed to grow some anyway. Never saw any worms last year but really did not expect any.
A couple of days ago, I checked on the trees and was surprised to find worms happily munching away on the leaves. Right now they are young and small and in the light colored stage. I just hope they do not run out of leaves before they reach maturity. I am really looking forward to being able to fish with some later on. It will be interesting to see how fast they get big.

It depends on how fast they grow. I would not be surprised if you had a few next year. However I would really look for them year after next. It would probably help to fertizie the trees some. If we have a fairly wet year they should put on a good bit of growth.

Congrats on the worms. Do you catch sacalait with them or just perch?
Crappie Wall Hanger
Well I understand that they are good for several things. I know they are good for bream and they are also very good for catfish. I do not know about white perch but I will find out if I get to try them. MY crop is kinda limited this year but hopefully it will increase in years to come.

I remember one year someone on the forum posted they had worms if anyone wanted to come get some. Wish I'd taken them up on that, as I've always heard good things about them, but never used them. I hope you have a lot of luck with them Charliee! Maybe it'll help you land that monster out in Hosston!

Those worms will flat out catch the bream. I've seen many times after casting out if a bite doesn't occur within 30 seconds, reel it in because it's gone. Make sure you take a bunch when going. I've had a hard time of keeping the little fish from them.

The only thing I hate about them is biting them into to turn them inside out. Rough on the teeth

I can tell you for certain, a white perch will eat anything you put in front of it, especially minnows or worms.Originally Posted by Charliee
