@ FARRIER Nice pic of the YTs tucked into bed. I'll have to find some burlap and do some googling.... Any brick and mortor stores that have free burlap like a grocery store that throws them out? A quick google showed Walmart had a 12 pack but I'm sure there is a better way. Rather not order it online if I could pick it up local for cheap....

I know one thing,,, you get a lot less worms when you gut the fish immediately...I imagine most are in the guts and migrate after death

Also, if your fish's flesh does have worms, it'll be pretty obvious. 'cuz they're, you know, actual worms! :-)

Local landings have em cheap. I let my fish sit on ice for 24 hours before i cut em usually.

I have a problem catching big fish so don't really need to worry about icing anything.
