Answer 2

YES!

Answer 3

I've had success off of live and dead worms/nightcrawlers.Sure live is preferred cuz you hope they're moving around attracting attention but I don't notice a large discrepancy in my catch rate either way.

Answer 4

When your out fishin' it's best to put the container (most of the time it's Styrofoam) of them in an Ice Chest. They need ta' be cool. There are times where an ice chest isn't feasible (back country or long treks down a river) so then what ya' want to do is take the Styrofoam container and set it in the water preferably under some trees. Coolness is the biggest factor for their survival. After ya' get in from fishin' check em' out and see if their still  "kickin"/alive and if they are then what I'll you'll want ta' do is put them/container in the fridge. If I ain't got no plans ta' go fishin' for awhile I'll add just a bit of coffee grounds with a tidge of lettuce (food). Hope this helps you out the next time your plannin' a trip to the waters ;)... < ' ( (( > <

Note: When puttin' the container in the shoreline water make sure their secure ie., don't want the things floatin' away from ya'. Depends on circumstances but, most of the time I'll just "jerry-rig" a make-shift type d**n with rocks...

Answer 5

No! You are supposed to keep them cool and moist!

Answer 6

ive done the same classic thing. left my worms on a rock in the sun.  a few days later, i used the rotting remains and caught a few trout, so yes! they can be used, but they're not the best.

Answer 7

As long as they are not rotten, you can cut them into little peices and catch panfish.  Have fun!

Answer 8

Fish deeper, or use rubber worms.Edit thought you were talking about water temp.
