that is the one, cheers for that feeder,

maybe the beds have gone on the east coast or just about depleted,

but yes they are the right place to start bottom fishing if the snaps start spewing them up...

that one of mine was caught out the back of Waiheke in about 40 meters,

would love to have spent more time fishing there but sold that boat and all the GPS Marks with it...

wounder if there is a way to catch these things?

besides dragging a row of spikes across the bottom...

Plenty on the west coast, if you find snapper coughing up these make sure you mark that spot.

i know long ago off Cheltonham Beach we used to go catch these big fat worms with short gold bristles in the front, 10 to 12cm around and up to 20cm long,

you see the large holes they made all over the place but it had to be a low spring tide to catch these worms and catch them we did, make the best bait you could ever get...

these are the worms that the worm beds are named after,

way back in the old days 1960s most people only had grapnels for anchours and after fishing the worm beds the spikes on the anchour would have anything up to 3 or 6 speared onto them, so they used to be bloody thick, if a snapper spewed any up it was a fight to who got it to use as bait, they are that tough it would catch at least 3-5 fish before you lost it...

since ive owned a boat (33 years) i have had only 2 of these worms ever pop out of a snappers mouth...

i did take a picture of one of them but its a bit flattened and mangled...

has anyone else seen these at all???

Used to catch those beach worms for, Black Bream, Bass, Garfish and Flounder bait when I fished the south eastern coast of Victoria from Lakes Entrance through to Mallacoota. Most other species of fish would take them readily too. Over here the closest I have found to them was something I was told was a "cat worm" (nephtyidae). These I was finding around Whananaki. They were under rocks and under weeds. The ones I was getting were around100-150mm in length and fairly thick in body. I tried the local beaches for 'beach worms' but had no luck. The other worms I have found here for bait are, blood worms, extracted in the manner Slayliner mentioned. Haven't tried my Alvey bait pump for them yet but will at some stage this summer.

We used to catch worms in the sand in the Manukau . We'd use a spade but you'd have to be quick .They weren't as big as those ones]]> Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:44:20 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=113679&PID=1591335&title=saltwater-worms#1591335 <![CDATA[saltwater WORMS : http://www.smlvideo.com/izle-1...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=113679&PID=1591310&title=saltwater-worms#1591310 Author: Lethal
