Would it hurt anything to take nightcrawlers, freeze them, and when you need them thaw them and cut them up? I have my adults on smelt and I like it because it's easy pretty clean. But I have pups and it's just a pain to dig em out, cut em up and get blood and dirt all over. Just a thought.
 
In my experience earthworms, nightcrawlers, red wrigglers, do not defrost well. there insides liquify and your left with dangling skin. Try bettle larve, super worms, wax worms, ect. I freeze them in bulk, they defrost fine.
