Worm spawns happen both day and night depending on the location & species of worm. The worm spawns in the R.I. salt ponds typically happen in the daytime, usually in the afternoons as the water hits the critical temperature and tend to shut down at dark. In Connecticut the ones I am familiar with are around the new and full moons around the high ebb which typically is anywhere from 10 pm to 2-3 am in the morning. The best ones I have seen were in August in my area. In Rhode Island they occur in May and June depending when the water hits the 60 degree mark. This occurs in the shallow back portions of the ponds first. My understanding is that the Cape has a similar event about the same time of the year. The ones I have stumbled upon here in Central Conn. usually start aroun 3-4 days prior to and after the new and full moon phases.
