Anyone ever use these as bream bait? What about other larvae style baits? I have used waxworms but interested in what others have used as well.
Thanks!

It can be painful but brother and cousin (older) used to knock wasp nests down from barn eaves, I’d get them after a few minutes. Nice fat white grubs in them!!

I have when the aggravating things get in my worm bed. They are tough and make good bait.
Wasp larvae are great bream bait.
As noted, man up and knock the nests down....no chemicals
Experience dictates that nests should be stored in the fridge...beside the catalpa worms.
Options that do not work well include storing nests in a warm closet with Sunday clothes or storing nests in a small, hot spare bedroom.

Maggots' also will work for bream
If you boys want to fight a wasp just for bream bait, i hope you catch a ton.

I have used wasp nest larvae many times to catch Bream..U can raise your own maggots I have used them also good bait..Meal worms u can raise them as well great bait for Bream..Wish I could find some Catalpa worms during Bream season to fish with..If I could find some black soldier fly larvae I would try them I would imagine just about any fly larvae would work...

One of these days I’ll cease to scratch my head at trying to reinvent the wheel for catching fish....
In other aspects of life, it can be known as overengineered. (Not the soldier fly larvae, the wasp larvae)

Wasp larvae and catalpa worms are two of the best baits there are for bream (and several other fish.) With regular paper wasps, you don't have to fight them, just knock them down with a bamboo pole. They won't chase you like yallerjackets or hornets.

I thought bream would eat anything...def not getting buzzed up by wasps to do so. Bread balls, redworms, crickets...all free/cheap and dont try to kill you

I've used them. Great bait...they are tough and stay on the hook well. We tore the bream up and got a couple catfish also.
