How to Keep Fishing Worms Alive

[@petalstar842]

Short, concise, and to the point…and you didn’t try to sell me anything. Thanks!

[@RoookCastle]

I’m brand new to fishing an I was really sad that I didn’t use all my worms and I was super worried they wouldn’t even last overnight glad to hear they actually have a good lifespan

[@walkingdeadman4208]

What doyou think the stores do ? They don't order them every day

[@AnglersEscape]

Try and change out half the soil every month or so with topsoil from your yard. As long as you keep the worms in the refrigerator the coffee grounds will usually make the soil moist enough. However, if the soil looks dry and cracking then place an ice cube or two in the worm container so it will slowly melt and moisten the soil.

[@patches2221]

I put coffe ground in there and my worms swelled up,turned red and died

[@BamaExplorations]

@@patches2221 You probably used "Decaf" 😁 Sorry for the lame jk. I bought a container today (3.99) and well over half the worms was dead (nonresponsive). This video is helpful to me cause now I have a chance to salvage what I can

[@walkingdeadman4208]

@@BamaExplorations you should always check out the worms when buying from a store. They dont care if they are dead, they are just making money. If they are dead, they would have to throw them away and loose money They dont check them , they usually just put more in with the others

[@BamaExplorations]

Thank you for your informative video 👍 I just bought my very first container of worms and didn't know how to store, or feed, them. Thank you for teaching me that "yes" I can keep them in my refrigerator. And letting me know to feed them coffee grounds. Over half the container was possibly dead (they weren't responsive) but at least I can salvage a couple. "Thumbs Up" for a great video 👍

[@jluhreya]

thanks. it helps a lot. I don't really fish. but it's my hedgehog's food.

[@JeremyNaude]

Thanks man that was extremely helpful lol where I live these earthworms are all over outside by just picking up a rock but I wanted to find a way to store them because when u head out fishing don't stop for 2 hours to find bait so this helped me plan for all future trips thanks good vid

[@millec60]

Ground up oatmeal (into flour) and cornmeal works, too

[@hibiddy]

Thank you so much for your video, You did a great job and this was incredibly helpful!!

[@babygoober5724]

I had heard you can water down cardboard but since I drink a lot of coffee that'll be better thanks man really appreciate it and you've done a terrific job

[@Fox1nDen]

thank you! just found out local fish prefer live bait to sparkly things so I will gather worms while gardening and keep them cold and feed them coffee grounds left over from the morning conversation group that meets in my building. Wonderful! Do instant coffee, decafiennated and already brewed coffee grounds work the same? I have crushed coffee beans if that works better for worm food.

[@mikkislaughter1916]

yeah i was wondering the same thing

[@blueissocool]

Thanks man, quick video and useful info. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@johnmoring4596]

Thanks for the video, now I can keep these for next weeks fishing.

[@gabriellamas3421]

feed them GARLIC! They will become infused with garlic scent when you fish them!

[@SwingingPythons]

For real? Will thay eat it or are you just joking?

[@thebigdickbandit9433]

@@SwingingPythons they legit will eat almost anything so probably yes

[@KRDP]

@@SwingingPythons this is my thoughts as well.

thx

[@gwenpenn3433]

Ik this video is old AF but the coffee tip was new to me so thanks for that. I buy worms to feed the toads my son caught, 1 about 8yrs ago the other about 2 or 3. Now like everything else he's tired of them so I take care of them. Wondering if these worms I bought from Casey's will eventually procreate if saved long enough because I just noticed some eggs in the container? appreciate any further advice.. thanx

[@ARCSTREAMS]

hi that is a great info tip about the coffee because i had no idea they could eat that or that its all they need to stay alive so long,,actually ive had some from the store that lived 5 to 6 mo in the fridge without me feeding them no problem,,i have a few questions 1) could too much cold kill them? im not sure if my fridge is set too high 2)should you keep no more in a box than the amount it holds? for example if its 12 or 18 or 24 3)i been harvesting my own after a rainy day at night to save me some bucks,,i got 30 in 40 min but last time they did not seem to last longer than a couple or few weeks before they started deteriorating,why is that? 4)can i use instant coffee? lol 5)is it really necessary to keep them in a fridge ? because in nature in the summer the ground dont get that cold does it? thanks

[@DerpyEndz]

I just bought some night crawlers that I use to feed my axolotl and they all look skinny and weak. At the store, they were literally the only ones that I found that were still alive. Is it too late to try and restore their health with some food? Or is there another factor that I should be looking out for?

[@MrPudnTang]

Really cool. I hate thowing em out cause I dont use them all up in one day and I hate letting em die trying to save them for next time.

[@martyhoenisch3582]

I added some fresh landscape dirt and then yesterday added cornmeal. I also mixed some apple juice with some water for moisture. That was yesterday haha so now I have to wait and see if I harmed them. I'll add coffee grounds today. I've had the worms about 3 weeks and they are all really healthy.

Very useful. Thanks for posting Cheers Stevie The Scotsman

Alba gu brath and e pluribus unum

[@SwingingPythons]

So already used k cups are prepackaged worm food is what your saying. Awesome!!👍🏻✌🏻

[@SwingingPythons]

Make a cup of coffee first then give them the leftover wet grounds in the cup from what I understand.

[@qjarman7753]

Thanks for the tip man... earthworms are great bait for eels here in the UK 🇬🇧👍

[@Alexander-vm2ox]

Can you give me tips on how to catch eels

[@Ihtiandr13]

​@@Alexander-vm2ox 1. Find a place with eels.😅

[@jefffurman5543]

awesome info young man...thanks !

[@nicolewardin7493]

thank you....lots of great info. and right to the point

[@adrianacasillas6527]

so can i soak the coffee grounds before putting them into the container with the worms for moisture? or should i put it in dry?

[@AnglersEscape]

I've never herd of catfish liking onion but you never know! I've heard of people catching catfish on ivory soap.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@Long Jawn yup my dad used to use that,,said it was a secret lol

[@SpaceShuttleYT]

Great video! I needed this!

[@Gho5t013]

u can also use a newspaper that u mixed with hot water nd put a layer of it under the bedding.or cornmeal is also good.

[@bighalloffame]

Gho5t013 that's what I use cornmeal

[@BamaExplorations]

Should the cornmeal be self-rising? Or can I use just any kind of meal? Is the bedding the very bottom layer with the shavings (wood chips or heavy saw dust or potting soil) on top?

[@leftydiablo]

Great information. Very well done. Fyi- you must use "used" coffee grounds.

[@Alexander-vm2ox]

You don’t have to, just sprinkle it on the wet soil

[@myfavsandlikes7478]

Thanks for the video.

cool video will do hi from minnesota

[@corinneoheran269]

Do you use used coffee grounds or undies grounds?

[@conman20000]

Thanks guy!

[@tennesseegirl5539]

Does it matter if you use flavored coffee like me

[@codyhenson3373]

Doesn't the coffee smell effect the fishing if they smell it?

[@KageAthlee]

So helpful! Thank you :)

[@tylordow7776]

Dose it matter if it’s flavored coffee grounds

[@adhaman1]

Ask your worms what they prefer

[@OtaK-]

Normally, the refrigerator tactic works for me. But yesterday when i put my leftover worms in the refrigerator and when I checked today, they were all dead. They were sand worms by the way

[@kermit368]

What about tea? Figured lettuce would help but unfortunately being in the fridge it's not really withering.

[@markbradfield219]

Do you need air holes in the lid?

[@elliottrichardson7387]

Cheers bro

[@kalebdavis9083]

Thankx

[@wilp3230]

Are you using used grounds or fresh or does it even matter? Hopefully used cuz I have coffee everyday and I have to throw them in the trash anyway

[@MrJimaz]

So can you feed these raised worms to reptile pets such as turtles?

[@capsanddogs]

+MrJimaz I wouldn't feed the worms coffee grounds if you're going to feed them to your pets... coffee has caffeine in it, you don't want to be giving your pets a stimulant.

[@davidmarler7]

good job

[@tonytrailmixx]

Could you tell me if they prefer a light, medium or a dark roast?

[@AnglersEscape]

+tonytrailmixx haha! I think they prefer the medium roast

[@cayetanorocha7439]

Good vid kid

[@wadelawrence7]

Do they need to be new or used coffee grounds?

[@gloriaybarra7181]

THANKS

[@8Jallin]

I don't understand the temperature thing, how do they survive during summer when they are underground? Without the help of a freezer. 😁

[@adenrobson5434]

Its cold underground

[@MrHop6]

I thought Peter parker was giving tips for fishing😂

[@djscarecrows7702]

I don’t drink coffee other then coffee grounds what can I give them

[@dawnlark629]

veggie scraps

[@ireneb3433]

@@dawnlark629 not really, not if they're being kept in the fridge. It is a misconception that earthworms love to eat the vegetable scraps (they're not caterpillars!) ... earthworms actually feed off ('slurp up') the *bacteria* that decompose the vegetable scraps to mush, and in the process the (mushy, rotting) vegetable scraps get ingested also. But, seeing the whole purpose of refrigeration is to stop the decomposition of the vegetable matter by bacteria, this is not going to be all that effective in this case, unfortunately

[@GB_PACKERS1]

can i use k cups coffee grounds?

[@queendoyle6537]

Do catfish like onion

[@danielrichardson2931]

Never knew that

[@eastsider5199]

Used or new coffe grounds

[@wenhuawang933]

hi

[@thewoodypearson2635]

No

[@davidcranford4656]

For the amount of money u spend on coffee feeding them for four months you might as well have released them in ur yard and bought new ones when u got read to go fishing

[@SeanB9]

you can use used coffee grounds which are garbage anyway

[@davidmarler7]

David Cranford your a hater. .he is a good kid. lay off

[@ireneb3433]

I think you've misunderstood, David Cranford; you don't spend money on buying fresh coffee especially to feed the worms ... you need *spent* coffee grounds, like what your local coffee shop or perhaps even a neighbour/friend/work would normally throw out in the garbage
