Many times when I was kid in the early 60's, my father and I would go fishing near his old home place on the James River and we never took bait with us. Near the river bank we'd find a good digging rock and get our night crawlers that way. My father would also turn over some rocks to find helgramites which were sort of like centipedes if I remember correctly. The main thing I remember about helgramites is that I didn't want to touch them. So, just to assure everyone. You don't need a tackle box or a pocket full of worms to go fishing. I even know people who have used a safety pin as a fish hook, tied to a piece of string on an old bamboo pole.
