I like the idea of just gatering them up after rains, but we don't have very thick/big ones here...plus, do you all find if they are in the fridge too long they go bad...
I'm not sure what kind of small worms you find after your rains Wanngo, but if they look like small nightcrawlers, they are excellent bait. In fact, I prefer them to cutting/breaking nightcrawlers into pieces.
For keeping them in the refrigerator, I use newspaper torn into strips and moistened. Check them occasionally (every week or so) and change paper if it smells sour. Also remove any dead or sickly worms you see. You'll find that eventually they actually eat the paper.
I'll go out later and see if I can find some and post a pic to see if this is what you find.
