I found night crawlers tonight!!! Its the middle of February!

Well I know many of you are not going to believe me but I went out side (I have no clue why) and looking in the grass and saw what looked like a bunch of small twigs. Well they weren't sticks they were night crawlers! I grabbed a bucket and was able to grab 8 of them that was the first time I've got any for a long time so I missed a lot as I was way too slow went out a few minutes ago and there was none. I got them all around 7pm. Texted buddys and none of them believed me a few pictures turned that around. They all went looking and they found none must have been my area the hot spot maybe? Not really ice fishing related but its the middle of February not july finding some thawed dirt was a bit tricky either froze or mud after digging around I found some good stuff. Hoping the ice holds up and it will be safe for next weekend I'm going to have to try them for gills maybe. I've never used crawlers in the winter any of you? I've still got lots of waxes though. Now I fell I'm rambling but felt I had to share this!

I'm going to look too. Yard is wet and there should be a few around. Be a good time to try the shock method.

It's worth a try. I found all mine right next to my house like a foot or less I did find some that were 6-7 feet away. Good luck!

Could be some super crappie and bluegill bait!

Well worth a try!

Walked by the garden area last night and there they were, nightcrawlers in February. Picked 4 of them that I will try for bait this weekend.
