With ice fishing season upon us one of biggest problems is finding fresh wax worms.
Wal-mart, Meijers and even Bas Pro have either dead bait or no bait at all.
My area doesn't have a MOM and POP bait shop so I had to get creative.
TIP: Pet supply stores sell not only wax worms and meal worms but also various minnows for folks who feed them to their pets.

If anyone wants Wax worms let me know, my neighbor grows them. You pay for the worms and shipping I'll do the leg work for free.

Bonnie is a really sweet lady. We’ve been getting all our bait from her for at least 35 years. We usually give her 3 or 4 messes of bluegill fillets every year. She can’t get over thanking enough for them. By the way she is open every day except Tuesday. |

What is this ice fishing season you speak of? It's where you balance on this big ice cube out on a lake or pond, and drill through the ice cube to go fishing. It looked like I had 4" of clear ice on my pond this afternoon - there was a crack going right under the pier and that is how thick the crack looked as it went from top to the bottom of the ice. Now there is snow on the ice so I will be drilling a hole to double check before I go out on it. |

I can only find very small ice cubes sold in bags. 🤷♀️ "It's where you balance on this big ice cube out on a lake or pond" |

IIRC (I'd have to look at a receipt) it's $0.05/lb |
