Dylbaa 174 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 thanks CFR, much appreciated! you wouldn't happen to know if there is there any country beaches that hold them too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gelboy 0 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 if your south of metro try moana, to the right of the life saving club down towards the rocks or aldinga / sellicks, usually bigger worms but patchy ! i use cows liver but bag of fish frames works just as well.Must admit i havent done a lot of worming in the colder months but im guessing theyre still available?

Dylbaa 174 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Ok, cheers for the info Gelboy! I wonder if they are available on beaches that I regularly fish? (waitpinga, Salt creek, wallaroo) I guess no harm in trying right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gelboy 0 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hi Dylbaa,I frequent waits n parsons salt creek, even tried wallaroo for worms a few years back when the kids were younger etc and have never seen them? possibly they may be there but it must be the coarseness of the sand as the beaches that i know hold them are mostly a finer compacted type of sand, but damn theyre a fine bait for most everything from brim to jewies they all love them, and catching them is half the fun beats paying 8>10 dollars for one bloody worm these days.happy worm hunting if you ever try at moana let me know ill join ya Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dylbaa 174 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 yeah they are a brilliant bait! I had an old fella give me a couple after he finished his fishing session and the work a treat! I don't usually go to Moana but I might do a special trip one day, thanks for the help though mate happy fishing!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Underpants 1,543 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Ive dug them whist cockling at Goolwa.Dab a couple of ST frames in the top of the wash and see what pokes its head up! Dylbaa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ausea 4 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 You'll want sea conditions with a calm day and low tide Dylbaa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hey Dylbaa, good luck chasing beach worms mate, it can be very rewarding at times, and frustrating at others.I have only tried it a few times so far but have had success at beaches like Tennyson through to Largs Bay.Tried it down the Coorong with same technique and couldn't get any.Just fish frames in an old stocking works for me.Hope this helps,Steve Dylbaa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dylbaa 174 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 cheers for that Steve, theres plenty of good videos on youtube that have given me a fairly clear idea of how its done and what not, there just isn't too much info given from an SA perspective, its all interstate! thanks for giving an idea of location though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gilbert 0 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 fish net stockings?or any old stockings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Probably not fishnet stockings, just normal everyday stockings so you can break up the fish pieces and get more of a scent trail happening. The worms grab on, sometimes getting caught up in the fine mesh stocking, making them a little easier to get hold of.Good luck,Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Savagelip 4 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 pulled some from Tennyson with cfr, best time from there is in the warmer months around a receding low tide on a sandbar.. gilbert and Dylbaa 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
