The title might sound funny. But it's true. You have to fish (or find) the worm to fish so you can use the worms to fish for fish! You following me here? This article will show you how to find worms for fishing.
When and where to look
Look for worms right after a rain, light or hard. They will be out close to the surface. Don't look in hard packed and sandy soil, worms won't usually be there. Look for them in compost piles. If you turn over large objects such as rocks, wood (boards, etc), bricks, anything that is touching the ground, you may find worms.
Keeping worms
I would recommend that you could possibly start a small worm farm with the worms you have left over after your fishing. Speaking of worm farms, I will talk about them in a later article. Meanwhile if you are interested in worm farms, just look up "worm farms" on the search engine.
I hope that this article is helping you find more worms for you fishing bait to catch a big one (fish that is).

Basic Bass Fishing
Bass are the US' most popular sport fish. I will show you a little advice on how to catch them.
Lures
Spinners, crankbaits, and swimmers are the most popular artificial baits. You can also use poppers, a type of crankbait.
Worms are also good to use as live bait, along with nightcrawlers, and crawdads. Other types such as small live fish work as well.
Places to Fish
Fish for bass near weeds, docks, and obstacles in the water, such as fallen down trees. Think about what you would do if you were a fish, where would you take cover?
As I said this is just a little advice to help you catch bass.

Little Things, Big Uses
If you want to survive you don't have to have high tech stuff. Simple things can be made into very useful survival items. Here are some ideas.
Creative items, simple stuff
Sticks can be made into spears, fishing rods, and more. Rocks can be filed down to make knives and hatchets. Plastic bottles at a stream can be made into a minnow trap and be used (after you wash it out) as a container if you cut the top off to make a wider hole. More can be said, but that's all for now.

Cottontail Hunting
To go cottontail (more known as rabbit) hunting a you really need is a field that rabbits would be in. But how do you find them and how do you hunt them?
How to find them
A good place to look is a place that provides cover for them close to where they get their food, such as clover, alfalfa, wheat, garden crops, grasses, and twigs and bark of small saplings. Some of their favorite places to hide are at blackberry patches and honeysuckle.
What to wear and how to hunt them
Now what do you wear when rabbit hunting? Its easy, a blaze orange hat, vest, something blaze orange so if there are other hunters with you because you are in thick brush and if your alone just wear some anyway because if a hunter happens to come by he'll see the blaze orange. Always wear blaze orange. Why? Your in thick weeds and grasses and you don't want to be mistaken for a rabbit in tall grass! Wear thick pants also because you will likely run into briar's.
How to hunt them. If you have beagles, then this article is over for you. If you don't keep reading. If your without beagles you can still hunt rabbits by walking them up. How you do it is you walk for 10-15 paces and stop for 30-45 seconds. Rabbits are nervous and will think they have been spotted and will make a run for it. If you have two or more hunters, walk 25-50 feet apart depending on how wide the field is. Do the same thing with walking them up, though you may want to do it staggered way. One hunter does his thing, stops. The next does his steps, stops, and so on. And when you find a rabbit snap shoot him. You might want to learn this shooting technique. Good hunting!
