If your intention is to be "respectful" by fishing the worm in a handicapped manor, your intention will be lost on them. Bring a spoon rod and tell them a sappy story about your grandpa teaching you to fish with a spoon or something. Fish giant, articulated bunny flies on the fly rod some/most of the time. That way you are practically fishing the worm anyway and no one gets sand under their Orvis wading belt.
