Will SALTWATER Fish eat a NIGHTCRAWLER?? (Fishing Experiment)

Fishing with earth worms aka nightcrawlers as bait in the OCEAN for whatever bites off the pier in Florida! Would saltwater fish eat a worm? We know that nightcrawlers are one of the best baits in freshwater. How about for saltwater fishing? What kind of fish would be around a pier like this?? Will something BIG bite one of our baits? I did not expect for this to happen..
Again, I want to thank each and every one of you for the support! At the time of this upload we just passed 556,000 I'm having so much fun making these videos, lets keep this rolling!

    No idea if you guys have different species of earthworms/nightcrawlers there but here in the Philippines, we don't use earthworms in saltwater, their bodies dissolve in the salt and eventually fall off the hook. Bloodworms are better suited as saltwater bait.

    I use catch either grubs or nightcrawlers as a kid. I took a Tupperware container that was labeled live bait. Friday after school, I'd be outside collecting grubs or nightcrawlers. Saturday afternoon, we'd go fishing using grubs or nightcrawlers I caught. We'd catch trout or small mouth or large mouth bass. Also, we caught catfish.

    If we ran out of grubs and worms, we used trout eggs and corn. Or power bait trout eggs and corn all together. We'd catch big fish with trout egg power bait and corn. Don't get caught using corn it's illegal. They have trout eggs that look and smell like sweet corn that works too. 😊

    Thanks for sharing, very interesting parallels between Florida and the KZN coast of South Africa. Bluefish or Shad as well call them, can bite you; but it never happens. We catch them down here, they make fantastic eating and even better bait, especially alive. The Sabiki's we use for catching bait mostly, like off reefs or off the artificial reefs. They work well for Mackerel. Take a live Bluefish, same size as you caught and slide that for a BIG fish. Best wishes from S.A.

    The best method i know of, is using ZERO bait. The idea of sabiki rig is it IS the bait. For eg, it has lil shrimp on the end (can also be glow in the dark lol), or the fake hairs, or imho the best sabiki, the fake shiny fish scale. You drop it down, flick it up, let it fall.. jig the rig, the bait fish hook up. All hooks filled is fun lol Then throw the bait fish on ya main rod for the fish you wanna catch. Long story short.. sabiki IS the bait. If you need to add something, u working it wrong.

Set them out in the sun for a few minutes, put a weight on the end, drop it half way down into the water column and bounce it up and down gently. If you get a little baitfish to grab on, leave him be in the water. They struggle and jiggle the sabiki and it makes other fish go crazy
