- 1). Think like a worm. Find soil that is fluffy and damp.The worm chews through it with its mouth. If you can't move the dirt with your fingers, the worm probably can't get through it.
- 2). If you do not have access to a back yard or vacant lot to dig in, maybe you can dig by the river or lake where you will be fishing.
- 3). Dig. You can use your hands, especially in a compost pile or pile of leaves. Most of the time it is easier to use a small trowel or even a sturdy spoon.
- 4). If you have a spade, you can use it to turn up a large clod of earth. Break the earth up with your hands to find the worms inside.
- 5). Put your earthworms into the container with cool, moist soil. Keep the container cool.
- 6). If you dig worms before your fishing trip, you can put them in the refrigerator. If they have plenty of soil they can stay there for a couple of weeks.
