Worm Hunting

**JSC** · 08-21-2010, 10:19 AM

I noticed that no one has mentioned "Grunting" worms ... drive a stake in the ground and rub another one on it and "Vibrate" them out ... Some commercialy in several places here in NW Fl ... Blountstown being one of the centers for "Calhoun County" earthworms and the other big center is in Sopchoppy ... For a while they had a "Grunting" Contest in Bonifay .. have not heard of it lately ... the chainless chain saw does the same thing ... real art to doing it.

True dat! Never did count 'em. Should have said "Goo gobs" of them in a little bit. Enough to take some to the lake and let the rest keep on doing what they do! Make babies. It works better if you play Marvin Gaye "Sexual Healing" or Smokey Robinson "Ooh Baby Baby"

They really like it when I play "The Electric Slide" for them. They get in a line and do the wild thing.

I saw my Uncle take a hell of a shock with the metal bars and battery when I was a kid. needless to say I went out at night and caught them, after seeing his hair afterwords NOT happening to me!!!!!!!!!!

Take a worm divining rod to Washington. There is a large bed of red and blue ones there.

Yeah and some independant ones too. They all will be on the hook in November.

It does take about 3 months to go from cocoon to adult in redworms but if you feed them right and keep them warm enough you can reduce the time to about a month to fishing size. I went from about 100 to 500 in 4 months over the winter and went from 500 to having to cull out more than 2000 and still have thousands of them with the warm temps and lots of good food.

If you want big worms get African or European nightcrawlers instead of redworms, they grow slower but are a lot bigger.

As for the battery and metal rods, works great, put the rods in the gorund, hook up the cables, get in your truck and THEN hook them to the battery. Have seen it many times, had the priviledge to laugh myself to the ground when someone didn't follow those basic rules, after we made sure he was alive of course. He had our written instructions right in front of him.

I wonder if grunting would work here? I think it is the Alabama jumper that is driven out by the vibration but that is the only one i have ever seen it used on so who knows. May have to try it and see how long it takes for Sasquatch hunters to come a running looking for the location of those strange grunts. LMAO.
