No More Worms?

What happened to worms for bait? They used to be easily available but that does not seem to be the case now. I see them selling from guild vendors for exorbitant amounts so I'm not the only one needing them. How do you get a reasonable amount of bait for saltwater fishing now or is fishing being discouraged now?

    How do you get more bait for fishing? Try my method:

    Step 1. Don't fish in ESO for 9 years.
    Step 2. Realize you have a lot of bait for fishing.
    Step 3. Profit, I think?

    Option A
    Harvest plants looking for worms, get crawlers instead.
    Fish in foul water with crawlers, get the occasional chub.
    Fish in saltwater with chub when there are no worms.

    Option B
    Catch butterflies and other insects for their parts.
    Fish in rivers with insect parts, get the occasional fish roe.
    Fish in foul water with fish roe, get the occasional chub.
    Fish in saltwater with chub when there are no worms.

    Option C
    Kill small critters for their guts.
    Fish in lake holes with guts, get the occasional shad.
    Fish in rivers with shad, get the occasional fish roe.
    Fish in foul water with fish roe, get the occasional chub.
    Fish in saltwater with chub when there are no worms.

    Plants no longer drop worms, only Zombies of one area in Cold Harbor drop worms. Again why were worms removed from almost everywhere?

    Plants absolutely drop worms. I mean one of them is called Wormwood after all (not that it has anything to do with worms, it's supposedly because of its old High German name that indicated its use as an aphrodisiac).

    But yeah, zombies, plants and the baskets in Murkmire/Blackwood/Shadowfen are all steady sources.

    It's definitely just your RNG. You've apparently hit a period of super-bad RNG. Don't worry, it will eventually pass-- although the amount of time needed for it to pass is determined by RNG, so...

    None of that is accurate.
    I got lots of worms yesterday from zombies in Alik'r and Glenumbra. As well from a few plants that I harvested.
