Wax worms near Indian Point?

If you find mealworms and like to use 'em, you can grow your own. Dump a bunch of oatmeal in a tall container that has slick sides-- like a five-gallon plastic bucket and add mealworms. Keep them from freezing (and probably overheating), and add some mealworms.  They will breed and grow in that without escaping.  I've not thought of using them in quite a while; I may have to do it again.

My family likes the wax worms because they are pretty clean to handle.  I've not tried meal worms before as bait.  Unfortunately, I don't see any promising looking pet shops near Indian Point.  I saw Lilly's landing had referenced wax worms in a fishing report I saw on the internet some time back...maybe they sell them?  I was hoping to find them a bit closer to our condo.

Yeah wax worms may be tough to find.  Extreme outdoors (I think is what its called) has loads of crickets.  The feller said he gets 10000 every Wednesday.  In fact when we went on wed he hadn't gotten his yet and gave us what he had left for free! Really nice guy!  They're off hwy 13 in Kimberling. 

On another note...I'm assuming your bluegill fishing.  We didn't notice much difference between crickets and crawlers.  If you wanna keep the crawlers clean just rinse them off and put them in damp newspaper with a few ice cubes. (we dont care about cleanliness...its just a worm dirt catastrophe in out boat 🤣 lol)

You can order wax worms and have them delivered, but the delivery time may not fit depending on how long you are there.
