Hi Grady, i was the same as yourself up until a couple of years ago i would buy all my bait, but you just can't beat the fresh stuff, find a lug mark/beach and head down at low tide, i find that some beaches can be different, on some you find a load of the lug marks/squiggles and others you will find a squiggle with an enterance mark up to a foot away. Give it a try i garuntee you that you will get into it..

Regards

i cant agree more. buy a good fork and get out digging. u just cant beat freshly dug worm. Lug does keep very well so most shops dont keep it.
