Awesome looking sled there Frank, very nice handiwork. Have to wonder why you would go and ruin it at the end with that sticker on the side though?
Cheers,
Rich

Hi all...going bigger diameter is better than going wider.
Good day Back Cruncher What do you suggest mate What do you think of my SLED I only need wheels to get it from the car to sand after that I move them up off the sand and it becomes Sled

sIf you wanted a bit of traction, you could add some “tread” by wrapping the PVC tube with rubber matting, like fatigue mat or ute mat or similar. Fix it on with some glue or rivets/screws. Just a thought.
Thank s Berieyguts I will keep that in mine mate

Just a thought.
You could make it with wide wheels and perhaps 30 or 40mm above where the wheels contact the sand have a sled type base.
That way if the wheels start to bury in the sand the sled takes over with minimal drag.

I will be able move the wheels around 6 inches up and 6 inches down

Thank guys
That is elaborate set Frank I don't know how well I get it in and the boot
The sled hull will be radius back about 1/2 to 2/3 its length around 6 inches
at it deeps point Most of the weight I will place in the back
IF it works out I may put a light weight fouled down l canopy with sides and back on it so I can sit in it with the rod in the rod holder IT all ways nice to have a rod brake and a lemonade

Good morning guy
About 3 foot 6 ot 4 foot long and wide enough to stand a light aluminum fold up chair in
OF Couse I will need
wheels to get I from the car to the sand
I was thinking the axel will set up like a lawn mower cam action
so the wheels can sewing up and down with a lever
A bucket for my live bate if I can them
A small esky for a drink or two and a few nice sandwiches and in the winter flask full of tea or nice hot soup
A hooded rain coat and a rod holder attach to the sled and fishing gear
Do you think tis getting to heavy
Thanks guys
Chris

High guys
II have been thinking about making sled to pull all my gear around when Go beach fishing
May be put light seat on it rod holder a stick straight up 5 foot high with a light on it
Do you think would be easer to pull it a round Or some thing with wheels on it

I am by no means a great wormer, but I get enough, and love doing it in the summer, it also helps that I can just walk to the beach in about a minute from my front door!
How good is that mate

Chris,
I do a fair bit of worming at your mentioned beaches.
Its good that you caught the bug and want to give it a go, but can i suggest you wait till summertime? It takes a fair while to get your first worm (is a bit like riding a bike), and nothing saps your morale faster than watching worms continually slip through your fingers while you are freezing cold. Having said that, i worm year round when im up there and im happy to show you the next time im there.
I use my fingers and my technique is a bit different so i wont go into too much detail as i know all different information can confuse (and frustrate) a newcomer to worming. I actually find it a lot easier to catch worms with fingers than with pliers (plus i believe that with pliers, any escaped worms have a smashed up head which essentially means that any worms you may have missed might be dead soon!).
Good luck with it! I might be up there i a few weeks if you are still keen!
PM SENT TO YOU THANKS

I use thumb and index finger, but, do what suits, I tend to try to get my fingers either side of the worm, just in the sand, and as it comes up, just pinch hard and hope! It's tricky, but good fun, maybe not this time of the year, but during summer it good family fun.

Thank you for your time mate You sound like a good fisher man and a great gentleman

It's a bit hard to type how to catch them, but here goes, first off, as mentioned earlier, look for the right spot on the beach, at near low tide, you need some bait (old fish frames or similar) in a bag on a string, will you have a helper? if not, have a stick on the string, so you can push it into the sand to hold your bait bag, so you can concentrate on the worm, as the waves run back, swing the bait bag back and forth in the shallow water and keep an eye on the sand as the water goes away, you will see a little head pop up, looking for food, now keep an eye on that spot, have your helper hold the string, or shove the stick into the sand, get your small hand bait, I like Pippie or Squid, and wave it on the shore side of the worm as the next wave recedes, hopefully it will pop up again to grab it's lunch, keep the bait close and the worm will attempt to bite a piece off, as it arches to do so, you pinch the worm between your fingers (hopefully) if you get lucky, just hold it for a second and you will feel it kind of relax as it tries to get a better grip on the sand to zip back down, that's when you pull it out! They are lightning fast, anything at all touches them, they just vanish, if that happens (it will) move on and keep trying.
ok between witch fingers Noelm

OK, if you have only watched movies (that make it look easy) you are in for a shock, best bet is just do it, over and over, do you know anyone who can catch them? if so, ask them to come along and show you. Worming in the summer is good fun, and very rewarding when you actually catch a few.
Thanks noelm no mate I do not know anyone that catch them up hear
May be one the guy up hear will offer

If you touch them even a tiny bit, they will just zip back under the sand, even if you manage to grab one, getting them out of the sand is tricky too, but, first you have to raise one, then try and get the hand bait down in the waves and keep the worms head up, have you ever tried before, or just watched a movie?
Just watch moves mate

Almost all beaches have worms, they are not easy to catch for a newcomer, make no mistake about that, YouTube might make it look easy! just look for a beach that pretty flat, not steep to the water, look for fine sand, not shellgrit, and try at low tide, I find them hard going in winter, and even harder when it's
THANK Mate what makes them so hard to catch
