Fish feeding question

Not sure if this is the right group, but I'm new to the subject.

I know fish are attracted to worms when used as bait, but do fish actually
eat worms? Can they survive on worms?

I'm interested more in the commercial side of fish farming, but there's no
group for that subject.


One of the best things I have ever seen to supplement commercial fish
food is the bug eater (that's what I call it , I don't know it's name)

It's a dust to dawn light with an electric motor under it spinning a
spring steel wire (like a weed eater) every time a bug flies up to the
light it gets nailed by the wire, which then tosses the bug parts into
the water (light is over the water). We had one of these on our dock
(until one night a boat fisherman stole it off the dock).

Ours would dump a huge amount of bugs into the water each summer night,
it would really draw in the fish.

I understand you can buy these lights with the bug eater, from fish
farming suppliers

A electric bug zapper and association with a light works well hung over the
water near at dock. As the bugs get zapped they fall into the water.

What Rodney is refering to is probably similiar to BUG-O-MATIC® FISH & FROG
FEEDER. It can ve seen at http://www.kens-fishfarm.com/bugomatic.asp

It might be similar,, ours was just a 150 watt florescent street light
with a little motor under it, it would sling bug parts over quite an
area. One night we had a mayfly hatch we had two acres of the lake
covered with dead mayfly's in an hour.

I've been thinking of making a home made one since ours got stolen, and
placing it much higher from the water, so the thief's can't reach it
from their boat
