YIKES!!!!!!!
What ta do with my two fairly new rods I had made for worm and weight.......
I wouldn't mind so much, but I gott hunt to find worms that are decent sized... I used to have a connection that had some strange deal with Bud's Bait... used to split flats, or have him pick me up an extra flat, if I had the weekend off , when he was coming my way, worms about the size of black eels... they was juicy... I'd pay top buck for them, if I could find 'em.
Mike, have you heard anything about live eels, and what's gonna happen with them, this year?? I've heard rumors that the "save the eel" folks, are lobbying to have them not sold as bait.

Seabait to the rescue
I talked to the guys from Seabait(farm raised seaworms) at the RISAA show and they are going into full fledged production mode now. Unfortunately that doesn't help much for this season as they won't be producing enough for mass sales this year but the guys assured me that next year they will be full bore. I know my buddy who owns a bait shop just got roughly that same price hike per flat and seabait says their prices will be competitive. The best part is there will be no shorts to pick through and they should all be nice and juicy. Science is all right!

The problem with Sea Bait is they want me to drive 40 miles to pick them up. during the summer we cant do that.

Seabait does look promising...but they said "next year" last year as well!
As much as i liked the quality of the bait they had, I think demand will keep the prices high.
I saw a show on TV where they were showing the new GULP! sandworm, made from bio products, no plastic. Looked great right down to the pinchers! And they have smell to boot. I tried the power bait...OK but not thrilled, perhaps this is better.
Mike have you seen these? Are they worth a try?

Hmmm, I wonder if tog would find them palatable...I'll have to bring this up with Professor O'Nitis...  |

Seabait
I think that will change when they get into full production mode. If not they will have to employ someone as a distrubution point I would imagine. My buddy is dealing with them now I'll let you know any pertinent info. on delivery range that I hear about.  |

Bob,
I believe there is only 125 worms in a flat. not 12x12 as most people think. I was buying flats at about $32-33 a flat last time I bought that many. And I use the worm bedding and keep them in the fridge the ones I don't use. They stay a long time. |
