It’s midnight on a Tuesday, but why am I just now getting home with muddy feet and hands?
The answer: Nightcrawler hunting! With plans to go fishing the next day, it is a must that we go catch us some worms. Mandi started the night by getting the supplies ready, then we headed into town to pick up our friend, Kerstin. We cover our flashlights with red streamer and head to our first spot. After only 10 minutes, we decide this place is no good and move on. We then go to where the old school used to be—a huge open lot, but with lots of houses surrounding it. As we wonder around in the dark with our flashlights, I realize how lucky we are to be living in a small town. Anywhere else and the cops would be pulling up any minute because of suspicious activity. Anyways, once again we have no luck again. So with the mosquitoes biting us and crickets chirping in the background, we head across the street. We find a couple here! And then Mandi finds a big one, or at least what she thought was a big one. Turns out she tried to grab a snake, yikes!! After that fiasco we head to our final destination…Kerstin’s front yard. This turns out to be the best place yet. Within a half hour we have around 50 worms, and have also managed to get ourselves completely covered in mud. We are prepared for some good fishing to come!
