Does Freshwater Bait Work in the OCEAN? (EARTHWORMS for Surf Fishing)

Рет қаралды 119,113

Күн бұрын

The classic fishing bait- earthworms AKA night crawlers have been a timeless go-to bait for freshwater fishermen. But will night crawlers work for surf fishing bait? We will be testing the effectiveness of this bait in the surf, and talking about the pros and cons of using worms for bait! I am curious to see how well they work while beach fishing. Lets get FISHING!

Nightcrawlers work In saltwater, usually better than Bloodworms, especially for Striped Bass, White and Yellow Perch, Hardhead, Spot, Speckled Trout, Red and Black Drum. Not surprised you would have success with them in Florida.

@packerjh2 6 күн бұрын

Why is this even a question? I understand this was faked for views but there's actually people who didn't know fish ate worms, lol We catch sheepshead , grunts,croaker, pinfish, black drum , trout and Spanish in the bay off worms frequently. Even pull some mangroves from the rocks.

Been using nightcrawlers for bait since I was a kid. Sheepshead and snapper love em too. Lot cheaper than shrimp. Lok

Worms are also fairly easy to keep. Not just for fishing either, but also good for getting rid of kitchen scraps and great for gardening. Good way to make extra cash to.

Hey Skipper, I love the team here in this video, lots of fun to watch. I used earthworms last week, because sand worms and blood worms are around $20 for a dozen in the NYC area. Well, I was surprised to see how well they work. I consistently caught seabass, on them. I also caught a very big ray using earthhworms the other day. Love the channel, new friend here!!

I fish with nightcrawlers in the ocean often for flounder here in Nova Scotia. I’ve caught mackerel, pollock, cunners, sculpin, and more in salt water on worms. I’ve also seen people catch striped bass on them before too, with a spinner.

@krga94c 20 күн бұрын

Worms work everywhere. One suggestion I would make for large earthworms is: Instead of threading them, pierce through sections at a time, a half inch or so apart, depending on the size of the worm. Then leave enough out on the end for it to move and wiggle.

@slimpickins9124 20 күн бұрын

After a lifetime of fishing up north I have utilized some freshwater technique in my Florida fishing. Had not tried the up-north bait though. I may give it a go, I'd rather handle crawlers than squid.

@terrywebb4563 22 күн бұрын

Instead of thread try a egg loop knot. It'll save have get more each time you bait up.

$4.00 for 18 worms... When I was a little kid, I used to pick night crawlers, and then sell them at the rate of $0.02 each. And that was big money for a kid back then. Yeah, I'm almost 70, so I'm ancient!!

The experience of worms is really exciting for us in Morocco. We use a long needle to attach the worm to the hook and then wrap the magic thread around it. It attracts the fish strongly and they cannot resist their temptation. I liked very much that you practiced this hobby with your father. Greetings to all of you
