Gathering your own worms and crawlers is fun. My son and I do this often at the lake property and if you get the chance... cow pastures are gold mines,seriously. The smell might not be the most pleasant but you can fill a bucket in minutes.

Ha, those pictures bring back childhood memories. Would water the yard and garden so its soaking wet. We had this metal rod that was attached to a cord which we plugged in the an electrical outlet. Put the rod in the ground, plug it in and all the worms come racing up from the wet ground. Pick and choose the biggest once. Lots of fun.

My girlfriend all through highschool would get up early to walk with me to school and help fill up a can of crawlers after a good rain where they would be all over the road. that was 30 yrs ago. She now gets somewhat upset because of the mud and dirt i may tramp in. I made alot of money between the years of when i was 10 and 15 yrs old. Selling worms and frogs to fisherman on my fishing route which was 18 miles round trip on week days and over 45 miles on weekends. I carried a 5 gallon bucket filled to the top with the crawlers tied to my bikes handle bars and it would be empty of them and full of fish when i got home. Crawlers went for .50 dz, frogs were .50 each.

Pick and choose the biggest once. Lots of fun. We used to do it exactly the same way. You would have to be careful if you got too close to the steel rod. If you were on you hands and knees you could get quite a tingle out of the ground. The crawlers seem to race each other to see which one could get to the surface the fastest. That was in the Lincoln Heights area of Spokane. That was also 50 years ago.

I find it hilarious that stores sell and people buy worms! Granted, they're not overly expensive, but collecting them is not rocket science, as panfisher has mentioned. Go out after any good rain and collect them off side streets and sidewalks. After dark, break out a flashlight and go get them out of the lawn or local park. As kids, my brothers and I built a wooden worm box, about 4' x 4' and about 1' deep. We filled it with bedding and enough worms and crawlers to last all season! It required a bit of maintenance during the heat of the summer but fortunately we had a couple large pine trees we stashed it under. Yeah, a kid could make a killing collecting and selling them!

My brother used to have this thing he made in shop class called the worm skewer. It was a piece of metal attached to an extension cord with a baseball bat handle to shove into the ground. You plugged it in and it sent the nightcrawlers right up to the surface like magic. It doesn't work anymore and we're probably lucky to be alive.

Two coat hangers hooked up to a boat or car battery works too.Extension cords arent bad either. If you have a good moist fresly cut field its good. I use to go to the Seward Park area alot for crawlers. I need a new Kevlar Vest looking in Seattle area parks.Baseball fields in Mercer Island are great. On the Island they water their fields down.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

at least they died happy.....Water your lawn or garden right before dark, an hour later you have worms.

the first time i seen the electric worming method was from an old man that had at least 500ft of cord that went down a hill close to a river where the worms actually made a sort of suction sound coming out of their holes and racing to get away from the electrical juice that was at the surface.
