We’re all stocked up for the day 11:15 AM. I will leave them out there until evening when the temperatures get cold. You can always message me before you come if you want to make sure they’re on the farm stand.

Some have asked, why are the mealworms not out there sometimes? I’m glad you asked! 😃

Mealworms cannot survive freezing temperatures for very long. This picture is what they look like when they’ve been exposed to extreme temperatures for too long. It happens sometimes, but it’s never my intention to provide mealworms that look like this. If they’re black, they’re dead. 😵

When the weather gets too cold, I have to take them inside. But they are still available for you! Just message me and I will bring them out to your car. 😁

I appreciate you! Thank you for your continued support. 🥰

How to Use Mealworms as a Bait for Fishing

If you’re looking for a live bait that will attract fish, mealworms are a great option. These small worms are high in protein and fat, making them irresistible to many fish species. In addition, they’re easy to find and relatively inexpensive. Here’s everything you need to know about using mealworms for fishing.

Benefits of Using Mealworms as Bait

There are several benefits to using mealworms as bait. First, they’re a natural food source for many fish species. This means that fish are more likely to bite on a mealworm than something they don’t typically eat.
Second, mealworms are high in nutrition, making them an ideal food source for fish, as it gives them the energy they need to grow and thrive.
Third, mealworms are relatively easy to find and purchase. You can find them at Cute and Crunchy farm stand. They’re also relatively inexpensive, making them a great option for budget-minded anglers.

How to Use Mealworms as Bait

Using mealworms is simple – thread them onto your hook and cast your line into the water. The mealworms will wiggle and squirm, attracting fish to your line. In addition, their soft bodies make them easy for fish to eat. The size of the hook depends on the size of the fish you are hoping to catch.
Ways to use mealworms for fishing also depend on the fish you’re targeting. For example, if you’re fishing for trout, you can thread the mealworm onto a hook and cast your line into a pool or stream.
The movement of the mealworm will attract the trout, and when they bite, you can reel them in. If you’re fishing for catfish, you can drop a handful of mealworms into the water and wait for the catfish to bite.

What Type of Fish Can You Catch with Mealworms as a Bait?
�Mealworms are effective for many different fish species, including trout, bass, panfish, and catfish. When fishing for trout, try using a small mealworm. For bass, use a larger worm. And for catfish, use a handful of worms.

How to Buy Mealworms

You can find mealworms at Cute and Crunchy farm stand. During warm enough weather they are kept stocked in the fridge. When weather is too cold they are kept inside. Just message before you go to arrange a quick and easy drive through pickup! 😃 cash is preferable but other payment methods are available.

How to Keep the Mealworms Fresh for Fishing

Mealworms are live bait, so it’s essential to keep them alive and fresh. They come in a vented container with wheat bran so you can keep them in the container they come in. If keeping for an extended period of time, feed them a baby carrot for moisture and replace the wheat bran when they’ve eaten it all. An instruction sheet is available on the farm stand with tips on how to keep them at their best.

If you’re looking for high-quality mealworms as bait for fishing, look no further than Cute and Crunchy. They are raised in a clean environment right here in Valparaiso.

With egg prices on the rise, I see a lot of people talking about getting chickens. Just know they are called the gateway drug for a reason! Once you start getting eggs you realize you need a garden and maybe a sourdough starter. Before you know it you’re reading ingredients labels, banning all synthetic dyes and seed oils, and milling your grains.
