I spoke to Richard before the Alamo trip, and he assured me he would have an order ready for us this trip. Just would like to start the ball rolling here and get some numbers to ensure that happens.
One edit: Richard at Liars Corner. Liars Corner is within 10 miles of my house, so I have usually been the middle man on the crawlers.
Current prices are: 39.99 for half flat of 250 crawlers
69.99 for full flat of 500 crawlers
Can you tell us what we've done in the past - how many crawlers shared with how many people/boats?

It really depends on how you want to fish. I have been in boats that primarily troll crawler rigs. Last year we got a full flat for three of us, and I thought that was just about right. As I recall, we never ran out, and didn't have a huge surplus at the end. If you plan on using jigs more, you might want to reconsider the number. I would recommend a half flat for 2 people, and a full flat for 3 or more.
Here was the order from last year:
LLL-Hawk-Sparkchaser 1 flat
Rats-Oneblade 1/2 flat
Mike-Debbie 1/2 flat
Freshwater-Merlotkid 1/2 flat
Wadefisherman 1 flat
SteveJ 1/2 flat
Tommy is good at keeping the crawlers, happy, happy, happy😊!
The key to keeping your worms happy is to blow them :P. In Brian's boat last year, we bottom bounced full crawlers, but also jigged a lot with only about 1/4 a piece........and I threw a lot of plastics for the smallmouth. We had very little dead waste daily, and probably donated 50 leftover the last night to a new group. The camp store does sell by the dozzen, and while no where near as cheep or of the quality Sparkchaser gets from Liars Corner, they are available.
Then put us down for 1/2 flat.
Put me in for a 1/2 flat please and thank you.
Dave, I'll confirm my order once I hear back from Freshwater/Timbo. Hopefully by this weekend hope that's o.k.
OK, please put Freshwater, Timbo, and me down for 1 flat.
I'm sure LLL and I will use a half a flat.
Team Hewitt order is the same as last year-half a flat will do just fine! :thumbsup:
Ok, the order is complete and here is how I will place it. I'm not going to worry about tax, so lets just call it 40 dollars per half flat, 70 dollars per full. You can either pay me back by paypal, check, or cash at the lake. Please advise me as to which is easiest for you. I will take on transporting the crawlers up, but if you should want to get your own before, you can pick them up from Liars Corner. Just give me a heads up so I can notify Richard, and he will label a box for you.
Team Sparkchaser - 1 flat
Team WalleyBlade - 1 flat
LLL/Hawk - half flat
Mark/Marvin - half flat
Mike/Debbie - half flat
Kelley/Patti - half flat
Team Hewitt will bring cash for crawlers, at the lake. Thanks Dave!
Dave, when/where do I pick up the crawlers? If you pay for them and pick them, I'd be ok with that and pay you back when we get there..... ;D
Matt, I'll be picking them up Friday. I planned on grabbing the whole order, but you are welcome to get your own. They will be at Liars Corner. Otherwise, I'll have the entire order at the lake.
Nah works great if you can pick them up and I'll pay you at the lake. Thanks for organizing that. Nothin' better than live crawlers in the fridge and no wives to complain about it.
OK, I have all of the crawlers for everyone. I will square up with everyone at the lake.
Cost for 1/2 flat 40
Cost for full flat 70
