Find Worms for Fishing

Do you fish with worms but don't want to dig up the yard looking for them, and don't want to purchase them? Then get out your pitchfork, bury the tongs all the way in the ground by standing on the pitchfork. Then, with the flat of your hand, bring the handle of the pitchfork towards you, then pull your hand (still flat) back towards you, and off of the pitchfork.

If the pitchfork continues to vibrate once your hand is off of it, you are doing it correctly, it isn't hard. Do this a few times and earthworms will wriggle out of the ground, simply pick them up and place in a can that has moist soil in it. Because the earth is vibrating, the earthworms will come up. For more earthworms, simply move to another spot.

If you try this and no earthworms come up, that means there are none there. Move to a location that has fertile soil and try again.

As a kid, I remember going out to a barrel and emptying coffee grounds into it. It was full of worms. They were trout magnets. My job was to tear the worms in half and bait the hooks.

My cousin's job was to gut our catch and auntie's job was to freeze them in half gallon milk cartons filled with water.

I find lots in my compost heap, around the edge. And when I had composting earthworms in the house (red wigglers) they particularly loved apples. You could always find lots of them in composting apples.

It is called Worm Charming. In England they had a competition and a 10 year old girl won it by sinking a pitchfork in the ground, then beating on the handle, causing vibrations. She "charmed up" 567 worms in the competition, and broke the previous world record of 511 worms listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Obviously, this method works.
