Hi Roger, I've been buying live beach worms for years at $1.50 each. Approx $15.00 each trip. After watching your videos and following your info to a tee I can now successfully catch myself my own worms. The stocking and pilchards is a simple but effective method. I wasn't having great success with my fingers at first so I purchased pliers. After decapitating many unfortunate worms I have returned to using my fingers with great success. The most helpful visual tip in your video is, as soon as the worm is attached to the stocking I start to move the stocking slowly towards the beach and at the same time pushing my fingers in the sand and grabbing the worm approximately 2-3 inches down from his head. This system works great for me. Though I'm still learning to catch them when the waves come in. But I'll keep practising. I used to throw most fish back until I watched your filleting video and beer batter video. They were both invaluable and I now have a happy wife as she doesn't have to be concerned with bones. The batter IS fool proof. Thanks so much for helping me Roger. You have made one Port Macquarie fisherman and his wife very happy.

Best video on KZbin by far about catching beach worms. Very clear, concise, covers the whole subject and great video footage. I'm 66 years old and live in Cental Queensland and have wanted to catch beach worms for most of those 66 years. I finally snagged my first worm yesterday after watching your video. Yahooo! Now I can't wait to get back up the beach and get some more! Thanks so much Roger for putting in the time and effort making the video and bringing so much joy to so many people.

Grabbing them was the hardest part for me. I was using the plastic pliers though and trying to grab the head. They just zip off when you do that. They way you grab them a little bit under the head in the sand using your fingers looks much more effective. Thanks for the great video it was very helpful!

Hi mate.I'm from mauritius island and we do have sea worms but only in muddy sand areas..We do have a lot of species around the island and I think the beach worms work great on those hooks..I do use fresh squid...The difference between squid and those worms is that I can target some species and avoid messing with those murray eels...cathing those would be the tips of the year..Thanks lots for your video and you are very heplful mate..carry on and you got another subscriber... :)

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Kat, thanks for saying hello. We get worms in muddy areas that you either dig or pump. They are called blood worms and are different to beach worms. I'm sure that the fishing on Mauritius is awesome, regards Roger.

[@shawnshawn911]

Great video, I like the structure and how you explained the various topics.

[@lumberchicken007]

Thanks for the great content. Here at Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, we just dig for them at low tide, exposing hundreds of yards of wet sand flats. You can see many holes and its lots of work. Furthermore, sometimes you’ll slice threw them with whatever digging tool being used. I think we have a different species of worm here, but I’ll have to try this technique, which seems much less grueling.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Lumber Chicken, yes I think that you probably have what we call Blood Worms. We dig Blood Worms and they are an excellent bait. Beach worms are a different species, they grow to 9ft long. I would be interested to know if there were actually Beach Worms in the U.S.A.

[@lumberchicken007]

@@RogerOsborneFishing , we have both blood worms and sand or pile worms, each of which is very distinctive. However, the pile or sand worms have some respectively nasty mandibles. Unfortunately, I’m after that species. lol

Hi Fishing Buddy, thanks for your comment. It would be a good idea to test it. Try several spots, not just one beach. Let me know how you go. Remember, beach worms are attracted by scent, so you need some nice smelly fish(not fresh). Roger

[@cross121884]

Would this method work for sandworms also? Around here the go to method is to get a pitch fork or hand claw and start digging

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I don't think so, Beach Worms are quite unique. Where do you live?

[@cross121884]

@@RogerOsborneFishing New England, Connecticut coast. The sandworms up here are also harvested during low tide but the method seems to be to target them.in the exposed sand rather than in the surf.

[@spagoz2136]

If you can get the sun at the right angle, eg. late in the afternoon, you can sometimes see where the worms are located by the small round flat "fans" that they poke up out of the sand. They can be difficult to spot unless the light is just right & I assume they are some type of feeler. The bigger the worm the bigger the fan which means when you come across a cluster of them you can go for the big worms & forget the smaller ones. I have been able to pull some that were nearly as fat as my little finger & all of 6ft +. Just a couple of those sometimes was enough for a couple of hours fishing for whiting off the surf beach on the Sunshine Coast. But I must admit that it's hard to beat those mud worms we used to dig up when the tide went way out at Scarborough Qld. You could catch almost anything with that bait.

[@davidyeesing8160]

I am from the tropics ( Jamaica ) and never heard of beach worms , beach ants yes, are beach worms associated with a cooler climate?

[@lisamartin8294]

Hi Roger. Great video. How long can you keep the worms. Do they need to be alive as bait. They are so long, do you just cut some off for your bait. I am a newbie to surf fishing 🎣

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Lisa, they can be alive or dead. You can freeze them. Normally I use about a10cm piece as bait.

[@mikemerc74]

Hi mate. Thanks for all advice. Question- can you catch worms on the beach all year around or they are not active during cold months? Cam you catch them on every beach from the ocean side or some beach do have worms and others dont?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes you can catch beach worms all year round. Most beaches have a population of worms. Some beaches have millions of worms while other beaches are not as good. You just have to check them out, Roger
