I've never tried it , but I've heard you can take a pot of water , pour in a little bleach , soak a sheet in it , then spread it out on the ground . Was told they'll start coming to the surface , let sit 5-10 minutes , pull the sheet back , and grab your bait. I've heard it pulls the oxygen out of the ground , and the worms come up for air. Like I said , I've never tried this , just never needed to.
I have mixed a handful of laundry detergent in a 2 1/2 gallon bucket of water and poured that on the lawn to get worms for fishing. Worked...
A fisherman had out-fished his companion all morning long. They used the same live bait, the same equipment and fished together in the same mountain stream. But he had almost caught his limit of fish while his friend had yet to catch even one. “What's your secret?” asked the friend. “I haven't even gotten a bite!” The angler mumbled an unintelligible answer, causing his companion to ask again. The successful fisherman emptied the contents of his mouth into a cupped hand and replied: “I said, 'You have to keep your worms warm.'”
