Syn Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) Ha that grunting video was interesting. Wonder if the worms would come up if your car woofer box face down on the grass and played some heavy metal? Edited April 10, 2010 by Syn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbfisher Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) You can use Hot powdered mustard. Mix some up in a pale of water and pour a little down each hole. It only takes seconds for the worm to come flying out it's hole. Wash it off in water and toss it in your worm bucket. You don't have to hunt at nigh or do you have to wait until it rains. Hope that helps. ps...I wouldnt try the electric rod in the ground trick. Edited April 10, 2010 by gbfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyejigger Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 have always found gardens to be the best, they often stretch right out in the open between the rows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsa Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Also, wear a headlight with a red gel cover, or red LED's, easier on your eyes and the worms don't retreat from it as much in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fshrgy99 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I see them every night when I take the puppy out for a pee. (His, not mine) I usually sit on the porch and watch the leaves or grass moving. You can see them 15' away. A rain make it even more prolific. I just don't know what to put them in to keep them for more than a day or two... Keep them in the fridge, loose soil or (if you want to spend $$) look for worm soil at CTC. Keep them pretty dry and they'll last 4 ever. Too wet and you don't want to open them in the house! Check them once in a while and add a few drops of water to keep them plump. I've got some that have lasted all winter next to my spool of Sufix (my wife stays away from that shelf ) I check early after a good night of rain on walkways drives etc. ... picked up 40 the other morning (before the robins got them) and put most of them on my backyard lawn for future harvesting. My wife called me a worm poacher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Was a good movie in it's day... All because of electro shocking worms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimbLifter Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Does anybody remember the small tablets called Worm-Up. You put them in the bottom of a bucket, put the hose in the bucket, and let the water overflow. You would have worms come up everywhere...big and small. it was an amazing product...just cant find it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbfisher Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Was a good movie in it's day... All because of electro shocking worms... scary worms.... make sure you only put the HOT WIRE in the ground after you wet it and don't walk around with the power on....ya it works well.

I suppose you can get a solution of something that worms hate, kind of how a post here suggests to mix mustard powder with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch312 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 baseball and soccer fields are prime locations. you can also make any backyard a prime location by releasing leftover worms from fishing trips. my dad has been doing this for a long time and now the yard is littered with worms every night there is rain. i like to go bare foot because it makes it much easier to walk silently and to avoid vibrations. you'd be surprised by how many more worms you will see if you tread very lightly. i also stretch a red balloon over my light to avoid spooking them. also makes it easier for you to see in the dark as the red doesnt effect your night vision.
