<p>I was a power company linesman in a former lifetime. Occasionally we would set up a generator at remote locations. Requirements were to add a ground rod to any such installation. Sometimes when high loads were placed on the generator, higher current flow throughout the system, earthworms would come up around the ground rod. Current flow or vibration? I don't know but saw it happen even with snow on the ground.</p>

<p>Vic, I do vouch for the technique to work. However, rather than fiddling for worms here at the river bottom, where I know they are thriving during the dry seasons near the water flow, I use a modified 14.8V lithium battery I normally used for my float tube rig to power my electronics, rather than using that huge deep cycle car battery, attached to an adjustable current device, and go crazy on my two steel rods. The current is adjust between 0.75A to draw them to the surface within 5 feet…</p>

The current is adjust between 0.75A to draw them to the surface within 5 feet radius, and dial it up to 3.7A for a 15 feet radius. I simply sit back, relax, and have them smile at me within 4 minutes. If nothing shows up, I move on.</p> HAHAHAHA THANKS VIC FOR…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2013-02-17:2036984:Comment:3534292013-02-17T05:48:43.386Zcarl hendrixhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/carlhendrix
<p> HAHAHAHA THANKS VIC FOR CLEARING IT UP BUDDY! i guess i got tooty a bit gun shy when i told him about me collecting cockleburrs and selling them. you see; some people only want green ones; which are the male; and some folks just want the brown ones;; thats the females. then for some odd reason; they think if they take them home; put them under a heat lamp they can hatch them out and then have their own exoctic pet!! some how these people got the craziest idea; these things are…</p>
