First saw this in the early 1980's when I moved from South Florida to the Panhandle. I saw signs that said 'No Fish Bateing' along some roads in the Forest and wondered what the hell that meant! Shortly there after I learned about worm gruntering ..... :)

I live about 65 miles north of the Appalachicola River and the Appalachicola National Forest. When I go down to Blountstown or Bristol Florida to fish....these earthworms are always with me, along with live crickets.

Serious question: Given the scientific basic of the practise, is it reasonable to conclude that in a land where moles or similar predatory creatures don't exist, one couldn't expect the same escape response? They can not have gained an evolutionary wariness.

@skankystupidbitch yes it is reasonable to conclude that

well where i come from 12 worms is about 2.16 or maybe even 3 dollars by now. So lets say these guys make 80-1.00 per dozen? so 3000 divided by 12 is 250. These guys make 250 dollars for every 3 hours. 250 times 7 is 750 dollars. Which is good money for 21 hours a week, but split between 3-4 people is sort of iffy.

Interesting, and as I was saying, I wonder if these people make as much as those people in Maine who gather the bloodworms who were on Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs show.
