With the rains in Toronto right now go out with a flashlight and some clear red covering over the flash light. Have some soil and a pair of pliers or if you want you can hand pluck the worms at night after a good rain storm. I've found you can still get worms off the lawn at dawn but easier at night. Make sure you stay outside for 40-60mins in the dark so that your eyes adjust to the darkness then you'll see them easlier.
Pro-tip, I recommend looking ta the worm for a couple seconds before plucking seeing which way it is moving to you can see if the head is out searching or if it is moving back into it's burrow. I recommend plucking if you see the worm out of the burrow at least 2.5 - 3.0 inches out. As you pluck the worms you'll get the hang of it then you'll be able to pluck them when they are 1inch. When plucking I find for me anyways a quick grab with my pliers and quick a wrist flick up motion pulls the worm out of the burrow fast.
If you're with a friend you could flick and release the worms onto the ground and don't worry about them going back into the ground quickly before your friend can put them into the bucket. If you get good and into the rythem of things you can be plucking every few seconds. If you spook out the worms in an area just keep on moving and come back to that area 15-20mins later. Beats paying like $4.00 for 12 worms and you'll have a ton of worms to share with other people to make friends. If you're done fishing with your worms pass them down to other fisherman in the area. I always bring extra worms with me as I find sometimes other people and families run out of worms and the kids get upset that they have to pack up early so I share some with them. Also good for flinging a few out to lure fish towards your area with a slingshot.
