Lots and lots of salt. Make sure they're completely encased in it. Let the salt suck the moisture out of them then repeat.
Then freeze as said above.
TBH I've not caught much other than whiting and doggies on salted rag.
In the fridge is best for keeping them for use a few days later, vermiculite, peat, damp seaweed but a lot will die and they must be removed quickly and they won't be as good as freshly dug worms. They will be a lot less firm and lively.
If I've only got a few and no-one else on the beach wants them I'm happy to chuck them in the sea.
The better your bait the better your catch.
