Fishing Bait

These wiggly little worms have taken up residence inside my refrigerator. The boy is on a bit of a fishing kick and having bait available at the drop of a hat is a top priority. Oh, the things I do for my favorite little man.

After spending countless hours digging the poor unsuspecting creatures from the ground, the worms now make their home in an old yogurt tub. Not to worry, it has been boldly marked with a sharpie so as not to surprise and unsuspecting snack seeker.

I will be curious to see how long the worms can survive in the frig. Any ideas from all you people out there in internet land?

In related news, I am happy to report that the boy and I have discovered a new fishing spot that is just minutes from our house. Although we love heading down to Whippoorwill Lake, the hour-long drive made a quick outing nearly impossible. We can no go fishing just about anytime the mood strikes.

The little pond we now frequent is stocked full of sunfish. In two short hours on Friday, the boy and I managed to catch and release almost two dozen of the little guys. It was great fun.

I have to go now. I just caught a glimpse of my boy dragging a shovel towards the middle of the yard. He must be concerned with the current status of our worm supply.
