Bought a bag of bloodworms to supplement my bait offerings. Holy Crap!
$9.95. More expensive than the artificial bloodworms. Yikes!
Global Warming...
That's cheap.
Last live ones I bought were like $15 for 10.
Sounds like it would make sense to grow your own in a compost bin.
I wish I could, but they are a tidal flats worm.

eeeew,

I don't think we have those in this neck of the woods. No loss. A worm
with a poison/copper bite? Ah, no thanks.
They get cut into half inch pieces, put on a hook and used for croaker,
spot, and perch. Some will use the whole worm and try to get stripers, but
usually they waste a worm that costs almost a buck.

They do well catching the bottom fish though!
They are messy, foul little beasties, though. Up north, we had much
better segmented worms we called sandworms.

I've fished both and in my opinion, bloodworms will out fish sandworms
everytime.

But...

During a sandworm worm hatch, striper heaven.

I saw on "Dirty Jobs" that when the bloodworm diggers find a sandworm,
they just throw them back. No one wants them.- Hide quoted text -

That guy is one tough son of a bitch.. I watched him catching snakes
one day and when the bit, you could see him quiver and drop to his
knees. Then he stuck his arm in the bushes and caught another dozen or
so bites in a period of probably an hour. When they did the blood worm
segment, he and the other guy put them on their arms and tried to get
them to bite...

Hell, ain't any 'get them' to it. Stick a hook in one end, and they'll bite
with the other! Yeah, it stings, but they pull off easily enough.
