It depends really on a few things Torsk

1st how long a session?

2nd whats the current fishing like?

3rd Crabs play havok on bait supplies.

example:

6 hours winter cod fishing 1 Rod 2 hook pennel, I'm using 3- 5 worm per hook 10 max per rod each cast, rebaited every 15-20 minutes. roughly 30 worms an hour for 6 hrs equates to 180. This would be the maximum amount of worms that I would collect/purchase for this type of session, take into account that some casts would be left for longer to soak I suppose 140 would be more like the figure.
Thats generally how I work my bait supply out for a session.

the above is based on using blow lug by the way, blacks and yellow tails I would buy less as usually they are larger worms.

normally take 1/2lb black 1/2 rag couple of mackie fillets and a few small squid then i use whats left over the following day and thats based on 6hrs fishing on the 1st day then maybe 3-4 hrs the day after
