Catalpa Worm Ordering Page



 Today we noticed that the area for shipping Catalpa worms using Home Delivery and Ground for businesses has expanded. What this does is cut the price in half for shipping the prized catfish bait. We have had people drive from different states to use these in tournaments. Now its cheaper then driving across Indianapolis to get them delivered to YOUR DOORSTEP! The catalpa worm has been used for centuries in mostly southern states until now. Dont miss your chance to get some catalpa worms and store them in a freezer until your fishin g trip this summer. They last for atleast 6-8 months in a properly maintained freezer, conviently packaged in one dozen packages.

Minimum order 5 Dozen, Maximum of 15 dozen due to container size with freeze packs.

Larger orders can be contacted through admin@thebaitbarn.com.

 The BLUE and RED (Near Indiana) areas are the newly expanded coverage areas we can ship safely to you using FedEx Home Delivery or Ground service according to FedEx in approximately 2-3 days. We will not ship out any orders received after Tuesday at midnight until the following Monday. This is to ensure the freshness of the bait arriving at your doorstep.

• Someone must be present to receive the package and put contents directly in a freezer.
• Shipping to Commercial addresses cost even less then shipping to a residence but ensure that you have a freezer at work before ordering.
• If you live outside the red or blue areas then you must select FedEx 2 Day Air for your delivery option.

Paddlefish Poachers - From WRTV6

INDIANAPOLIS -- Ohio River paddlefish, whose eggs are sought by poachers as a lucrative source of caviar, are being protected by new regulations from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The DNR approved emergency rules that include limiting the catching of the paddlefish from Nov. 15 to April 15 and a minimum size of 34 inches from eye to tail fork.

"Our recent investigation clearly revealed that existing regulations are insufficient to protect this unique resource," DNR director Robert Carter Jr. said Monday. "Unfortunately, the high market prices for paddlefish caviar do not encourage resource conservation.

"The escalating harvest pressure threatens to take paddlefish faster than they can be replaced, which could lead to a shortage we intend to prevent," he said.

A two-year investigation has led to arrests of more than 20 people on charges including illegal taking of paddlefish, money laundering, and racketeering and corrupt business influence, Carter said.

Paddlefish in the Mississippi River Basin, including the Ohio River, were targeted by poachers because of a decline in traditional sturgeon caviar sources in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the DNR said.

Most females require 10 to 12 years to mature and may spawn only once every two to three years. A mature female paddlefish may carry several pounds of eggs, which can bring up to $250 per pound or more, the department said.

The emergency rules, valid for one year and then renewable for another year, also prohibit the snagging of paddlefish by people with sport-fishing licenses. They also prohibit the use of gill nets and trammel nets during the closed paddlefish season, and standardize a method for commercial fishers to check paddlefish for the presence of eggs.
