worm charming
Users viewing topic: & 1 Guest
In most competitions the fiddlers with the collector (or collectors) of the most worms in a set time being declared as the winners. They usually have a zone in which to perform their charming, measuring three yards square.
One of the first worm charming events took place in a school fête at Willaston County Primary School in Willaston, Cheshire. The World Worm Charming Championships started in 1980 and is now an annual event that celebrates the sport. It was organised by then-deputy headmaster John Bailey, who wrote the original rules for the competition.
The current world record was established on June 29, 2009 by 10-year-old Sophie Smith of Willaston, England who raised 567 worms during Britain's World Worm Charming Championship.

Lay out all the things you need in front of you.
Place the stick in your hand like you're praying.
Now spin the stick in your hand like you're making a fire.
After a few minutes, worms should come out of the ground. The exact reason for this is unknown. Some think it simulates rain falling while others suggest this sounds like a hungry mole tunneling for them.
An alternate method is to place a stout log of medium length perpendicular to the ground and run a saw across the top.

I stick a garden fork into the lawn and wiggle it. After a minute or so the worms come to the surface. Doesn't take long to get enough worms for a chub fishing trip.
