Question for ya - In Alumacraft Joe's thread on Fishing Camp you said:
"If I'm not tourney fishing, I'll pick up some june bugs (the bigguns) and put it on a hook with my texas rigged worms. Each time I've done that (only twice) I pulled out 1 bass at 5.3 and another at 5.0... it's a great bass catcher!"
Are you talking about the brown hard shell bugs? I've recently realized that what I called June bugs when I was growing up in Louisville, KY and what people here in Southern TN/Northern MS call June bugs are completely different. We used to call the green Japanese beetles "June Bugs" up home. Down here though they call the round brown hardshell bugs that just love to bang into light bulbs June bugs. We would take a string and tie it around one of their legs and let 'em fly around.
In any event, how do you keep them alive? They seem very fragile and die easily. Just curious about some of the finer details of your technique there.
Thanks,
Mike
