Worms

Anyone bury leaves anymore to get worms for fishing? My dad used to do this, and this weather has me wanting to be fishing every weekend like we use to.
Also, any other ways to attract earthworms? I'd love to hear about some crazy coonass ways the outdoor board is sure to share.

One of my grandmaws neighbors had a big box for them. It was about the size of a refrigerator, but wood. She put leaves and food in it and filled it with dirt and had worms all the time. I'd like to make one one day.
For now, I just go dig in my wife's flower beds and under big rocks and stuff in the yard.

I have stepping stone where my gutters drain. Lift them up and it's a worm farm. Any cool soft dirt will hold them. I'm about to dig some up, chop them up and catch 100 bream with my 18 month old before we eat crawfish.
Good Friday might be my favorite day of the year.

If you have the room all you have to do is pile up some mulched up leaves. I have plenty of room since I live in the country and I have an area at the edge of my yard where I pile up mulched leaves about 2 feet tall in the fall. This area is probably 30'x 30' and packed down over the winter to about a foot tall. The 2' or more depth in the winter helps keep the worms near the top of the soil since it doesn't get as cold under the leaves. The depth in the summer keeps it moist under the leaves. I decided today to go to the "worm bin" and see if they were up near the top since we have had warm weather. I dug down about 6" with both hands and just pulled the leaves back. I had about 30 5" to 6" worms the size of my little finger running for cover. I was also glad to see 10 or 15 baby worms. I know this was pretty long but I just wanted to let you know that it is pretty easy to get the worms if you make a place for them.

If you have the fertile ground use a worm prod.
Take a copper ground rod and insulate a handle and wrap a 110 volt lead to it. Worms from a foot down will surface.

That sounds pretty safe

when I was a kid, we took some of the yellow recycling containers and put some garden dirt and some worms in it. would add stuff like a compost and within a year there were thousands of worms. the baitshop that I use on Cross Lake is now raising there own worms in these large table size wooden boxes. If I owned a baitshop, there is no way I would ever pay for worms. Is there anyway to raise Canadian Nightcrawlers down here? anything special to raise these type?
