A note about worms. I don't use worms anymore but when I did, nightcrawlers mostly for walleye on a harness, and I think this can apply to any worm, I placed the worms, the nite b4 into a glass jar of water and placed them in the frig. (Clean, wash all dirt off 1st). The next day the worms will be alive and it also toughens them and there is no mess when using them. Change the water once in a while. A worm isnt any different than a fish, air can be had in the ground or water but not mud - thats why they come out when it rains. Try it, you'll be surprised.
