Fascinating article on catching earthworms for fishing.


Make a sound like a mole, and the worms head for the surface....


never heard of it, but beats digging though.


Never heard of it either.
I'd just collect them after a good rain.
Only used them for bluegills, perch and catfish though.
Very unusual to get a crappie on a worm where I fished.

Really? why's that, vic?


Worm grunting is a big deal here and you have to stake a claim in the
Nat Forest. We even have a worm grunting festival in Sopchoppy, FL.
I just missed the worm grunting festival cuz my daughter was in town.

Charles Kuralt did a piece on worm grunting years ago.
