Say Goodbye To Styrofoam Containers Forever

Now I'm not a health nut, or member of Greenpeace, but I do have a soft spot in my heart for this rock we all live on. Especially when it comes to the rivers, streams, and lakes that fish swim in. Why? First of all, because I love to catch those fish. Not only that, but I love to catch healthy fish. I also enjoy the beauty of Nature almost as much as I do the act of fishing itself. I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, "Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same." That quote, I think, is a big reason that I spend so much time in nature, attempting to catch fish.

What I don't like when I'm out there attempting to catch fish is to see empty Styrofoam containers, that at one time carried worms, sitting along the shore. This is completely unnecessary, and there's a simple solution to this problem. That solution is called a bait bag. I'm a huge worm fisherman, and spend 90% of my fishing time fishing with live worms. Yet I never leave a Styrofoam container along the bank of the water because I use a bait bag to carry my worms. I simply take the worms out of their Styrofoam container at my vehicle, place the worms into the bait bag, and I'm ready for a day of fishing. Using a bait bag enables the angler to leave the Styrofoam container in their vehicle to be discarded later, rather than along the water.

Where do you get your hands on one of these bait bags? You can go somewhere like JRWfishing or you can make your own. An old sock works well. Just cut the toe end off and use a safety pin to attach it to your fishing vest. Using a bait bag also keeps your worms right on your body for easy access. No more digging through the container, looking for a fresh worm.

The bottom line is that using a bait bag eliminates the need to carry those Styrofoam containers with you while fishing, and that means there will be many less Styrofoam containers left along the banks of our rivers, streams, and lakes. Not only that, but by using a bait bag to carry your worms, you'll spend more time fishing and less time fumbling around for bait. Your bait will be right there at your fingertips.
