Re: Keeping Worms
I guess the benefit of them being toughened up is that they are less easily broken by nibbling smaller species?

Re: Keeping Worms
Remember different worms need different soil/treatment/etc! Lobs - brandlings - redworms - etc.

Thanks Snape. I only pressed the button once but it took an absolute age to go through. Technology at fault not me - honestSnape wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 8:41 pmDuplicate posts by Dave removed.MaggotDrowner wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 8:36 pm Thanks everyone for their advice.

Re: Keeping Worms
If keeping for a couple of weeks I put my worms in a metal bait tin with good soil and moss on top and keep in the fridge, they last far longer but you have to watch for limp dead worms. Outside I have a kitchen waste bin which has garden soil/compost inside which I top up with shredded paper and leaves etc, as I dig or find worms on the grass I put them inside. It has been so dry down here I have no stored worms at all at present which I will have to remedy for my winter river fishing.

Re: Keeping Worms
The perils of lobworm collecting!
Late one Friday night I was collecting lobs on the lawns of our farmhouse.
And found the twin barrels of the business end of a 12-bore pressed firmly to my head.
A neighbour had seen my shaded torch on his way back from a late night lock-in at the pub.
Collected and loaded his shotgun, and come to arrest me. He could hardly stand.
If he'd had one more pint of Hull Brewery Bitter that night ...

Re: Keeping Worms
After that encounter I’d be prepared to fish bread only - having said that braving the supermarket is a daunting prospect but not life threatening - not usually.
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
