sandworm catching q

[FishingMike]

well obviously there's sand all over the island so how would you narrow down where to look for them? what else do you have to look for?

[stripertyper]

Not in the sand, in the mud on the "flats". Areas that are flooded at high tide and exposed at low are a good place to start. Sorry, that's all i've got.

without spot burning, look for areas that are a mix of sand and rock (thats why you use a pitchfork)

 

A so you dont cut the worms in half

B to be able to dig around the stones

Possibly dumb question.  

Are worms around thru the winter in the NE?

Nah, they all go to FL for the winter.

Here all night folks!

 

If they're here all year and don't go out to sea or anything. Im might go down during the winter and do some digging, then salt & freeze for future use. 

Saves my energy for fishing days.

They don't freeze very well.

I heard a good method to catch sandworms is to fill up a bottle with chicken feed and sea water, and spray it over the shore to catch them. What I'm wondering is, what else can you use besides chicken feed? Because I don't just have any of that stuff lying around. Thanks.

You need an Aussie woman to bring with you.... lol

Gulp sand worms are very effective and reusable
