How to catch Sandworm
Here's how to dig for sand worms to use as bait.
Tools required:
- Spade with a pointed tip
- A netting bag with a string tied to it. An old onion bag works
well.
- Small container to keep your catch
First, we shall prepare our bait for the sand worms. To do this, we
simply add the meat off cuts into the netting bag.
Next, we will stand near the edge of the beach, and wait for the tide to
come in. As the water comes into the beach, drag the bag over a wide arc
to attract the worms.
The next thing to do is to watch with a keen eye for worms that will
come up to feed. Now the characteristic feature to identify the location
of these worms is the special water formation that looks like a "V"
pattern caused when the worms come up to feed and the water moves around
its head to form such a pattern.
Do not search for them exactly at their home spot, because these worms
are very fast and can hide back into the sand before you can even catch
them.
The key is to quickly dig deep where you see the "V" formations, and
bring the sand up to a dry part of the beach and then to spread the sand
out to get the worms.
It is a skill of speed, and after you have done this a few times, you
should be pretty fast.
Digging for the worms is something your kids will love, and if you are
bringing your children along, ensure they have a good dose of sunburn
lotion before letting them have fun catching the worms for you.
Who says the fun is in the fishing itself? Digging for the bait forms
the prelude to a wonderful time of fishing. Try it out the next time you
go for fishing! |
