Live Bait
Moderators: Stan Wright, roadwarriorsvt
The live bait that people usually use on lake Wilson are baby tilapia, mosquito fish, which are kind of like mainland minnows, or worms. There are worms here but you have to dig for them. No going to Wally world's sporting good section to pull out a can of worms from the bait fridge! Hope this helps.

The mendonka's (minnows) are plentiful in alot of the freshwater streams, which many are brackish. Sports Athority in Waikele sells monnow basket traps. In a pinch, just go to a pet shop and get a couple dozen comets.
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Buy a minnow trap.. stick a piece of bread in it .. go to your local canal and throw it in.. If you leave part of the trap out of the water in the shallows I've noticed that you catch more any there you go! Live bait is the way to go especially if your sight fishing. They cant resist and watching them grab it is soooo exciting. I use a black one.

worms
The library will have books on how to farm (grow worms). You can order some to start with and start growing them in your compost box (you'll need to build a compost box). Then you can compost a small portion of your yard and transfer some into the dirt of your yard - they will begin to multiply (worms actually eat dirt). You can use old newspaper, if you can believe it; they will eat the newspaper. The composting stuff will need to be kept slightly damp. A good compost box is built with 2x12's: a rectangle is good = 12-footers on the long sides and 8-footers on the short sides. Make the box with two 2x12's tall (use 2x4 stakes). Fill it with your vegetable scraps, and yard clippings and yard-waste and old newspaper.
An easier way, than digging, to find worms is to wet the ground and throw down a few bread slices. Worms love bread and if there are any in the area they will surface and start munching. Usually within 15 minutes.
Or to keep them in the area, just clear a small patch of ground (usually under a shady tree), keep it moist and keep the bread partially buried. Only problem is birds, coons & rats love bread too! Hope this helps. Aloha!
