Cheers Trevor Not sure for Coffin Bay, but I'm only guessing that they might found over at Pt Lincoln north beaches - only because they get YFW there, so presume there could be some food of the worms. Just depends if you want to drive there 'if' c/bay area doesn't have any. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chimay 5 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I've found some scientific distribution data that suggests they are only in Gulf St Vincent, north of Port Noarlunga, but I know they can be found at least as far south as Normanville. Will just have to keep an eye out while I'm over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 You're right, they are South of Pt Noarlunga - Maslins and Pt Willunga also. I did send a msg to TW in PL asking if worms could be pumped/caught in CB - but no reply yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chimay 5 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Thanks for that. As a backup I'm guessing there must be seaweed worms on quite a few beaches over that way. doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

" Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, it’s something we don’t get asked often. As far as we know and have asked nobody has really tried to get them that we know. There maybe seaweed worms around but as to exactly where we are unsure. Sorry we couldn’t be more helpful but it’s not a bait that is used a lot around here." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chimay 5 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 No worries! Thanks for your efforts doobie. Guess it'll have to be "suck and see". Also might have a look for some mud cockles over there. Cheers doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I threw this reply back at them and got this lol "No worries Alicia and thanks for your reply. Just thought with yfw in your local north beaches there could be worms for food, so thought they hopefully found their way around to Coffins lol TW ...We get them in winter down on the front beach and also clickers but more on the Lincoln side."

doobie 5,802 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I was guessing sand worms lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snafu 29 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I was in Coffin Bay a few days ago and spoke to a bloke who had caught some decent YFW with cockles off the beach at Encounter Bay. No weed on the beach that I could see, but it looked like a magic spot. doobie and Squid Inc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
