Clifford Seavey (center), 36, of Milbridge and others dig bloodworms on the mud flats in South Addison last week. A lot of people do the back-breaking work year-round either for a living or to supplement their income. "We go in any kind of weather, but when the salt water freezes in your bucket, you know it's too cold out there," Seavey said. Most worm diggers get paid by the piece making 24 cents per worm.
