Even just flower boots and any weapon will do the job. Also, worms hang out on the surface when its raining, so you may find more then. For worms, its also good to break the grassy looking clumps because often you will find 2-3 worms in each. If I get a pic of a clump, i'll add it here. At night around your base, there should be a good amount of fireflies. And doing quests for the Angler will get you some bait usually each quest reward.
