Christrading Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Does anyone know a good beach around Swansea to go beach worming. I've tried using a stinky bag of pillies and had zero luck. I've read up on here and I have a feeling it was too steep and rough. Any advice would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barberonhigh Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Budgewoi , soldiers beach (my favourite).you need to have a muscles, they are big and will pull you down hard. You need to find the flattest area possible and where the waves are reaching the furthest on the sand . Don't stay in one spot more than 2 minutes walk and stop every 5 to 10 meters . One to two hours after top tide the best time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexSenior Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Barberonhigh is on the ball. Most flat beaches in Newcastle & the Central Coast hold worms, the difficult part is finding them if you don't have anyone telling you. I've walked most beaches in the area literally end to end, they are there you just need to find them. Without giving you too much info about where they are now, start out the front of the Caves Beachside Hotel and try walking up either side, Magenta also holds some smaller worms. Another point to mention is that they are not always coming to the surface in the same place, it depends on the conditions and even then they can be shy. Any specific questions please inbox me.

GreasePit Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Strong wind is not your friend when beach worming from my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christrading Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks guys! My only other question is, will it be clear once I find them? I find myself looking at pieces of shell flipping around thinking its a head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I find the 2 hrs either side of low tide productive. Forget about it if there is a southerly wind. The less populated beaches generally hold the most worms. Packet herrings make a great stink. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're easier to catch when they stay up longer and come further out of the sand. Some days the only just create a ripple and others they can be 2cm out of the sand waiting for your bait. Best off finding a spot with no shells or rocks that way you only have the pippis & hermit crabs to compete with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quochuy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 South of brisbane water: forget about it. I have success (bag out every time) are: - killcare - avoca - catherine hill bay I don't use stink bag I just use frozen pillies, one pilchard at a time, it is both my stink bait and hand bait. I would just walk along the beach and wave the pilly in the water and watch for a minute and walk away till I see worms. -- Huy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
