Anybody fish with earthworms?

If you have that many worms, it sounds like a trotline might be an option for you. I know Texas has some limits on the number of hooks and length that the line has to be, as well as have a permanent I.D. for the user attached to it. If you have access to a small car top type of watercraft, this might be a method to take advantage of those worms.

My boss, when he was a young boy, lived on the shore of the Nueces River and did tons of fishing for bass. His fathers passion was catfish, and trotlining was a way they fed their families through the 'Dirty Thirties'. My boss remembered all of those early morning trips to the river, how cold the water was, and getting back to bed for a couple of hours after the catch had been cleaned.

Hope you find your answer on this thread - have a great day r.h.
