Pequest River - Lots of trout
The water was high and off colored but it didn't stop the trout from feeding this afternoon. One after the other on butterworms.
I'm now into my 600 butterworm re-order from Elliotsbutterworms.com That's alot of butterworms. But when you get them at wholesale prices it doesn't hurt. I can't believe how many trout I've caught on them this year. I've caught big red belly sunnies, chubs, suckers, carp and lots of smallmouth bass on them. Ice fishing they do real well. Yellow perch and crappies love them.
Everyone I talk to say they do well with them.
Butterworms are brought in from Chili. They were originally and still are sold to reptile owners as a high protein treat for all kinds of reptiles. Unlike mealworms they don't fly off the hook when you cast. They don't go bad or dry out in the refrigerator like mealworms. I've stored them for six months without a problem. You can catch two or three trout on one butterworm because they stay on the hook real good. A proven fish bait.
