Two Questions
« on: Dec 27, 2017, 09:06 PM »
Hi all,

New to the area, not to the forum, well at least not to Pennsylvania's forum.  Forgot my email to my old account.  Anyway, I had two quick questions.  1.  Is there any safe ice around Champaign/Urbana- i.e. 30 miles?  2.  Where can I buy Waxworms-I travel to Mattoon enough that anywhere between there and Champaign isn't too big of a deal!

Thanks and looking forward to getting out!

-Tyler

Going to be checking ice friday ill try to post what the conditions are. As far as wax worms go it can be hit and miss gas station and wall mart (little cups ) usually half dead. There is one hobby/hunting fishing shop called slot and wing hobby in champaign. They might have waxies. If you know where the little town of homer is, uncle boonie's bait shop is a good place he has bigger tubs of waxies. Hope this helps good luck!

Thanks for the bait tip!  Was thinking about heading east and looking at Homer and Mingo on Friday, so I might as well make the stop there to get a bigger tub, those are the way to go.
