What Species of earthworm highly prized as fishing bait?

Answer 1

Earthworms can be a great fishing bait. Bass, trout, etc. will definitely go after them. Whether you are fishing in a lake, river, stream, once they see a "live" worm, you have a great chance of having a good dinner later on, or if you catch and release ....(which I prefer, since many people "think" after catching one fish, that they will keep all the fish they catch for dinneronly to end up with only catching nothing but grass or seaweed after...or catching only 1 or 2 fish total and they decide that they don't have enough for a good dinner, and just leave the "now dead fish" for the birds, fish or bugs to eat). That is why I think "CATCH AND RELEASE" is the best way to fish. Especially when it comes to game fish, like Sailfish. All you need now to have your fish "stuffed" is to have the measurements....since fish are pretty much NOT stuffed anymore, but they are just copied in size on a fiberglass cast, and then the cast is airbrushed (painted) to look like the fish is naturally when it is in the water (sailfish quickly loose all their beautiful colors after a very short time when they are kept out of the water. Also, with Sailfish, many people don't know that the meat of the fish is a delicacy, and when they keep the fish and return to the docks, the owner of the charter fishing boat don't tell the customers and the charter boat captain just They hang it up, take a picture for the customer and then tells their customers that they will get it stuffed for them. The customer leaves with only a picture, and the wait until they get their "stuffed" sailfish, only to find that it is a fiberglass cast. Then they realize that the boat captain either kept the fish meat for himself, or sold it at an additional profit after getting the customer's money for the charter fishing that day.

O.K., I just went on and on. Sorry about that!

But the answer that you were given before about worms not being good bait is...wrong! Dig some up (go online and look up where to find earthworms, and you will find where they like to dig and live. You can then have "fun" digging them up, using them as bait, and catching a bunch of fish. Remember, bass have times when they are eating (early in the morning and late in the day). That doesn't mean they won't bite during the day, but just that your best chances might be early in the morning or late in the day, just before sunset). Also, always use the internet to get info on the particular fish you want to catch. The more you know about the fish, the better your chances of knowing how to catch them.

Good luck!
