Apples

No not as a bait, but rotten windfalls put in the compost heap will yield more red worms than you could possibly need.
It’s nearly the season for making yourself very popular with neighbours by clearing up their waste problems.
Other magic ingredient if you can get it is ‘orse muck.

A lovely idea if you don't like your neighbours...

Do these red worms enjoy a drop of cider. :Wink:
Not a fish was visible that first time I visited Beechmere; an utter
stillness brooded over the place and I felt the strange and sinister atmosphere which, so the story goes,
has been the cause of several suicides.’

They don't feel anything when you put the hook in them

A sliver of apple skin with some flesh was one of the many unusual baits my Mum caught Roach and Rudd on! She rated Granny Smith’s best.
