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. |

Only used them for bluegills, perch and catfish though. Very unusual to get a crappie on a worm where I fished. --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. |

People used to use one stave of a barrel, as the resonance was the best for making the worms come to the surface. Not sure what the second piece of wood was that caused the grunting sound by rubbing it on the stave. |

Eh, I'm not a fisherman, but if I was I think I'd do what Vic does and wait till it rains then pick 'em up off the sidewalk or something liek that.

It was fun reading about it but my ma said I couldn't raise worms in the house. It was much easier to pick up a couple cartons of worms at the bait shop. Had to go there to get minnows anyway. Worms were cheap. Anyway I preferred redworms over crawlers. Never saw them anywhere but the baitshop, but I didn't do much dirt digging either. We caught grasshoppers for bait in Missouri.

Living next to a trout stream, I'd get enough night crawlers to put in a bin and keep in the garage for the whole trout season! They are huge, as long as ten inches. When it rains, the worms have to come to the surface or drown. They then wash into streams. The fish are accustomed to eating them, of course they are good bait. I used to say the of the ten rules for sucessful fishing, eight are use a nightcrawler. Casady Oh, how positively droll! |
