While they will produce, these days it seems that more fish are caught on bucktail rigs and larger fish on whole squid rigs. This is not to say that you won't catch with mummichogs (which some tackle shops in CT do sell), just that you're probably better off with the other options for the effort. FWIW, you do not need to keep mummichogs in water to keep them alive. When I used to fish them, all that was needed was some wet newspaper and an ice pack in a small cooler.
