Catalpa worms are powerful bait for BIG bluegills and BIG Shellcrackers (aka Redears)!!! Learned quickly about them from some of my Oldtimer fishin buddies that they are the best ticket in town for catchin loads of Monster Panfish!!! And yes, they can be frozen and rethawed and reused again and again for great action!!!

Well we had a good fathersday trip with the catalpas ( and DAD),we caught a mixed bag.Some 8-9 inch gills,a warmouth,some goggle eyes and a couple largemouth bass to boot.Our mission was to get enough fillets for bream and shrimp creole,mission accomplished.A good time was had by all.No redears were caught,so the jury is still out if the catalpas are good for them,I still beleive they should be.Hope everyone else had a good fathersday.Here is a couple pix from southeast Okieland.

I bet very few people over here on the left coast would know what Catalpa Worms were.... But I do :-) I used to spend whole Summers in Louisiana as a kid. My cousins and I would collect Caltalpas, then my Uncle would take us out to some little lakes where we would smoke the Sunnies on them !<br />
<br />
Fun times :-)<br />
<br />
Peace,<br />

I AGREE! people fight for catalpa worms here. Catfishing is the main thing goin in the rivers right now with so many people out of work and them lil gooey worms have been the oldtimers trick for many generations.<br />
<br />
You know you can pick those worms put them in a brown paper bag and freeze them. When your ready for bait just get you a bag out and when they start to thaw out they come rite back alive. Kinda like cockroaches. They can take anything!
