Rich,
Worms are easy, I get one of the old metal laundry washing tubs from a farm center, then buy worm bedding form Wal-Mart, as much as you need. Put the appropriate amount of water in it (I prefer rain water), and after the alloted waiting time, toss in the worms. Make sure it stays moist, not TOO wet, or they'll drown, and once a week I throw in used coffee grounds for feed, or bread crumbs. You'll have some plump lively worms for Walleye opener in spring! Don't do the minners though!
