The Fisherman’s Technique To Dig For Sand Worms For A Fishing Trip
October 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment
For the fishing enthusiast who does not wish to use peeled fresh prawns or shrimps as bait, sand worms is the preferred alternative.
Here’s how you can learn the Fisherman’s method to dig for sand worms to use as bait.
You merely need some very basic tools, and these are a spade with a pointed tip, and a squeeze bottle which can be fashioned out of any drinking water bottle with a hole punched in the cap.
We shall use some chicken feed as bait for the sand worms and also a small container to store the sand worms that we are going to catch.
First, we shall prepare our bait for the sand worms. To do this, we simply add the chicken feed into the squeeze bottle that is filled with some seawater, and we shake the bottle to form a chicken feed solution.
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, squeeze the bottle of chicken feed over a wide arc, this forming the feed for 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!

Your rod and reel are your backbone. You’ll need heavy equipment that means a reel that can hold up to 300 yards of line. The line itself should be between twelve and thirty pound test weight. You’ll need to make sure your rod, your reel and your line all are balanced in size. For hook size, look for 3.0 to 6.0 and the leader should be between ten and fifteen feet long. Double line them. You’ll want leaders that are 30 to 50 pound test.
Bait For Deep Sea
A good choice for most deep sea anglers is live ballyhoo especially for sailfishing. For bigger choices, consider blue runners, speedos, googleyes, dead bait rigs and lures. If you can, provide the type of bait that is natural prey for the fish that you are after. For example, sure hermit crabs, shrimp, squid, and threadfin for sea fishing. You’ll find that your grouper, kingfish, snapper, wahoo and tuna will take these baits well.
A couple of rules of thumb when it comes to bait include not touching it with sunscreen and touching it as little as possible. You’ll find a lot of bait near the locations that they are cleaning fish. You can even use the seabirds to help direct you to were bait is plentiful.
For gear, make sure that you take into consideration where you plan to fish.. You’ll need things like rain gear and warm clothing. You can ask your charter for more information.
One of the wisest things that you can do to learn to deep sea fish is to take a chartered service out. This way, you are being taken to where the fish are and you are likely to have a few people to help you to learn the tricks of the trade.
