In a bait fridge. Box half filled with sea water and an aerator pump. Have the air stones in the top inch or so of the water so they don't disturb the rag in the bottom. Position the air lines and simply shut the fridge door. Intact worms last for many weeks/months like this until they start spawning and turn green. You may need to change the water a couple of time as they flush themselves of weed ect but then the water should stay clear. Hopefully they get used well before that happens. I like to have a stock of worms kept like that for whenever a break in the weather turns up and don't have to rely on spring tides coinciding with that in order to dig them.
