I used to, Many years ago, try for 500 a night, now happy with 25. Will wait an hour to make sure most are fully out. Go get'um.......jk

a good night for me is around 50-60

In a good never picked yard, I could fill 2 1 pound coffee cans in a couple hours , years ago.
If you have a new road , sometimes they cover it up. Easy pickings.
Need a good steady rain , it used to be fun.

I learned to not trim your finger nails before catching them.
LOL You can't feel them.

Use to get them ..2 at time...when they were having sex..

Any night crawler knows that trick

OH YEAH!

Best night for me and my younger cousin was 7000--this was on a golf course.Sold night crawlers for several years.
After midnight was best time to catch those locked together.

I’ve collected a few dozen already,, my pet map turtle loves them.

I fairly often, catch a whole lot of nightcrawlers to go fishing with, get busy and forget about them, until I smell something terrible.
