Howdy, I'm yardless in the downtown area and I'm having a difficult time finding a place to get live earthworms for bait. Does anyone know where I can find some?

I think Fred Meyers has worms for sale.

Several folks have told me the new Berkley power worms work better than the real thing. Bill Herzog told me that again today.

Please balme Bilkl if they dont work for you. I have not tried them but bought a jar today.

Outdoor Emporium,Fred Meyer(Ballard) and Linc's is probably the closest to you to buy worms/night crawlers.

Gas stations that are near lakes sell night crawlers (76s - 7-11s). When it's dark out and rainy you can literally find them between sidewalks and grassy areas - they like to put about 75% of their body in the rain...that's how I get mine..my friend has a long walkway in her yard and I "go shopping" every rainy night. If you can walk through a neighborhood...take a flashlight and see if you can find them...that's a FREE WAY of getting the worms...

Hey rowr...

I would say that maybe the Governor or the King County Council could impose a new tax on the state to get worms for people in Seattle or maybe since the Council has TAKEN private land “for the good of all” in the city… you could just go dig some up out in eastern King County.

Really though… you could build a worm box and then just drive out of the city and buy some worms (several boxes/containers) and then raise your own… you would just need some dirt, house hold or apartment compost (lettuce, egg shells, coffee grounds, etc.) and you even a city dweller can be a worm farmer.

Remember that your worm box needs to be able to be flipped and have a removable lid and bottom, so that when you want to get worms you don’t have to dig… you just flip the box and grab the worms.

When I used to fish with bait,me and my father-in-law would go to golf courses and ask for permission to search the grounds. They would let us just as long as we stayed off the greens. At night after they watered down the grass you could fill up buckets with big night crawlers. Good places to go.

Hey thanks guys(a year later hah!) good stuff.

Look underneath some of the dead hookers in Sol's yard.

The Berkley Gulp Earthworms do work very well. I have fished them next to anglers using real earthworms and had equally good results.
