A couple a months one of the viewers on this site recommended a 1970's era book titled "LUNKERS LOVE NIGHTCRAWLERS". I told him that I had found a copy. He asked me to let him know how I liked it. This book tells you everything you need to know about fishing with Nightcrawlers from getting them, keeping them, using them, the right gear to use, where to fish in a lake based on structures in the bottom, and how to fish them. It tells how to make them the biggest and plumpest Worm so that fish can't resist them. This book tells you the way to catch BIG Lunkers. This book tells you about scents that cause Big Lunkers avoid your bait. I recommend this book if you are serious about catching a Lot of BIG Fish. If you want, I will take a picture of the cover.

Do yo know the author for that book I would like to pick it up if I can.


Here is the info: I just went to amazon and put in the title. I found one there for$14.xx

I bought this for myself and my soon to be 14 year old grandson. Another thing they point out that You don't want to have very much water in your storage box.

Yes it more than simply putting on a worm according to this book. it is about how you put on hook , taking care about scents on the worm.

When I was a kid, we used topsoil,newspaper, and burlap bags, layered, for bedding, and cornmeal and smashed egg shells for food. Keep it dark and damp,but not wet.

Well, when I was a kid, for years we would just go out and dig at random for worms. I suppose finally, Dad decided to build a worm farm, so we created a worm farm, so to speak. It was perhaps 5 or 6 feet square, and he covered it with boards, we fed them with coffee grounds and food scraps . That way we alwys had worms. We finally graduated to a deal with a gentleman who had a shallow lake of perhas 3 or 4 acres. It was full of lilly pads, willows, and perch. We cleared out a large patch and set a fish trap maybe 5 ft long and 3 ft diameter. We baited it with cattle feed, cotton seed cake and caught buckets full of perch or sun fish. We caught a lot of catfish, enough to have fish for entire community fish frys. Just Sayin...RJS

Paper ( after you shred it ). Paper is wood. Coffee corn meal leaves were main things. I just collected the worms that were eating leaves in the yard from the trees. The farm thing with drawers etc work well to keep them well fed and the worms will go from drawer to drawer. Earth Worms ( night crawlers ) will be out after dark. I agree with the store bought don't reproduce as well as the ones you find in yard. The Red Worms are easier to get a bunch but they are not as large. They constantly are making more tiny new generations. They are best thing you can do in your garden for soil quality as well.

I keep old rugs lying on my yard to attract nightcrawlers.my compost pile geerally has lots of redworms.but this idea keeps me suppliered with loads of FAT redworms.first,take a empty 3 lb coffee:
can:
1. Make a few holes in bottom for drainage
2.I also make a few holes around rim if you transport worms with lid on.
3.mix medium and worms with tablespoon of topical fish food( it is great food) and some fresh coffee grounds ( for boost) repeat this 2-3 times a week
4.fill coffee can with medium and worms.I start with 2-3 tubs of worms from bait shop and add worms I find
theres your medium! IMPORTANT:DO NOT ADD WATER AT ANY TIME! Ever notice that the best time to gather worms on top of ground is after a rain? worms do not like saturated soil! They will escape!
5. place slices of tomato and lettuce on top,DO NOT BURY!worms will crawl to top to eat tomatos,which they love! That is all the mousture they need!

I was in Murdochs store once and asked the girl at the cashier if she had worms. She started to get upset.....but she calmed down after I explained that I was looking for night crawlers and nothing personal.lol
