I have a spare refriderator for my bait. I use to go out and pick up worms after a rain or in the rain, but those days are gone. I usually just buy them from wal-mart and keep them in the bait fridge in the container they come in. I use to use frabill worm containers and use their bedding and would put shredded newspaper and coffee grounds in every once in awhile. Since I mostly fish for Crappie anymore I don't keep that many worms anymore.
