How do you get nightcrawlers?

Answer 1

Well where i live u can go into a general store or something and there usually under all the soda and beer. It my be different where u live. (keep in mind i kinda live in Hickland Vermont)

Answer 2

The easiest way is to buy them from a local bait shop. If you feel like hunting them look in grassy areas at night after a soaking rain or try soaking a large area with a garden hose right before nightfall. When you are looking for them, make quick passes with a flashlight and watch for the shine of their skin. Then hold the light off of them with just enough light so you can see. Get ready and grab for them as close to the hole as you can. This can be a lot of fun but you have to be quick. I think you will find that the worms from the bait shop will be bigger though.

Answer 3

go to Walmart and buy like a dozen or so for a $1.50

Answer 4

well you wait till it rains and for it to get a little bit dark, then you go out and dig in wet areas with a shovel. the you use a flashlight to look for them. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

They live under rocks and damp leaves also under dead wood.During a heavy rainstorm they will come out of their hiding places....keep them in the fridge in a secure container filled with soft soil and small holes in it for air...

Answer 6

you go outside after it rains and look all over with a flash light they try to run but you beat the suckers to the ground

good luck

Answer 7

Buy them at your favorite bait store or Wal Mart.

If that does not suit you, water a grassy area down real good, but do not get it real soaked ( will depend on how much rain you have had in your area, less water more)

Now take a tarp or blanket or the like, something light will not penetrate, lay it over the area and wait till well after dark.

Have a nice size container ( to put the night crawlers in) with a flashlight and lift the cover and start collecting worms.

Have fun and enjoy the mess/slim  LOL

Answer 8

Go out side after it rains. Look under damp leaves is where the will mainly be. One way people usually dont do is get a rock and shove it in the ground. A good sized rock(5lbs.). Next get a rock the same size and start pounding on the rock in the ground. the worms dont like the vibration and then they come to the surface.just something new to try!!!

If you have a need for nightcrawlers on a regular basis, you should get a few baskets of leaves and put them in a low spot on your property and in a few weeks from then on just lift up the leaves and gather the nightcrawlers up-= they will replenish themselves over time- the leaves and the low spot provide them with the moisture they need to live and reproduce. If there is a dry spell, you can dampen the leaves occasionally.
