I know I am terrible to love fishing so much and not be able to hook a
worm.
Laugh some more, my husband got me an automatic worm hooker once where you
put the worm in this long thing and it was suppose to make the hook go
right
in him, but it didn't work very good, he scrunched right up and wiggled
and
I couldn't do it. I used to be able to do it when I was a kid, but one
day
I just went fishing and the worm wiggled and I couldn't do it. I guess I
grew up. But the shrimp works pretty good, I catch Bass, Perch,
Bluegill,
and have caught a Walleye with it. But they can steal it off the hook
pretty easy and shrimp isn't cheap.
Thanks for all your advise.

I refuse to use live bait for various reasons. But there's no reason
you can't use artificial worms, is there? Try various kinds and see
how they work for you?

I do have several artificial worms and I have used them, when I say I use
shrimp I use the shrimp in the grocery store. The kind that is in a package
in the cooler that has been cleaned and that you can eat. The fish love it,
I get the small ones.
