What is the Best Way to Catch Nightcrawlers?

Question

I am tired of buying them from the store. I also need a way to fatten them up for best results when fishing.

Answer 1

You need to find a grassy area that has worms,before it gets dark go out and water the area,the worms will come up once the water reaches them. Now comes the fun part , take a flashlight,  go catch worms, you won't believe how fast those suckers can move. It's as much fun as catching fish.Good luck.Put them in a container with some moss, put them in the fridge.

Answer 2

Soak the ground your going to hunt on real well. Head out after dark and be silent, take off your shoes, it will help. Use a low intensity light. Too bright of light will scare them. If you have to pull them out of a hole, pull as close to the ground as possible or you could snap them in half.

Once you have enough, keep them in a coffee can filled with some newspaper ripped into 1 inch strips, some dirt on top of that and some coffee grounds on top of the dirt. Worms love the coffee grounds and it will help fatten them up.
