Fishing with Crawlers
Night crawlers are plain earthworms. The fun part in fishing with night crawlers is that it is the cheapest yet productive way of catching a fish. A wide variety of fish gets easily lured by this king of fishing bait - carp, trout, bass and blue gills are just some of them.
The good thing with using earthworms as lures is that you can skip the messy part of collecting them. These night crawlers can be bought by the dozen or more at Wal-Mart for as cheap as $2 or less. But if mess is an adventurous part you wouldn’t want to miss, collecting earthworms requires only a flashlight and a can. On dark nights after a rain, earthworms can easily be found wriggling on open dirt spots. Using a flashlight will help to easily locate them but avoid shining directly at them because they will quickly hide back under the ground.

A light spinning gear with hook number 4 is just about the perfect tackle to fit large earthworms. You can have them hooked once in the fleshy part, but hooking them up for several times in the entire body proves to be more stable. At spring time, these night crawlers can bring bass, bullhead and yellow perch to the table. Earthworms are also effective baits during night fishing. Bullheads and catfish are occasionally caught in the river when fishing with night crawlers. Carp, smallmouth and largemouth bass are also voracious worm eaters.
Fishing with night crawlers is a lot of fun indeed. And the best part of the process is that it works.
