    Default 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!
    Progressive Marine Insurance SUCKS!. If you hit a submerged object they will try to prove manufacturers defect....stay away from them.

    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

    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.
